Broschur, 4°. Condition: Neu. Original. 248 S. Buch ist neu, aus priv. Vorbesitz, ungelesen. -----Inhalt. A celebration of London's architectural heritage through a selection of themes including houses, churches, railway stations and pubs. Includes 12 themed walks covering the city, inner and outer suburbsThis book presents an original and easily accessible approach to understanding and exploring London's immensely diverse architecture. Because of its size and the number, complexity, and sheer variety of structures in the city, not unplanned, but without an overall plan, it is more difficult to gain an understanding of London's development as a whole than it is with many other world cities such as Rome, Paris or New York. It can no longer be encapsulated in a single view or narrated as a single story, so this book approaches it selectively and thematically, looking at elements of the architecture and services: domestic, commercial, religious and institutional. There are chapters on houses and on apartments as well as on offices and churches, and on government buildings. There are sections for example on schools and on railway stations, on shops and on pubs, on parks and on buildings for sport. Extensively illustrated and richly informed the book treats of both the masterpieces and of the ordinary, and ranges from the middle ages to the immediate present. It culminates in 12 architectural walks, each carefully planned to explore a diversity of buildings and architectural heritage, and ranging from the central City and Westminster to the inner and outer suburbs.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 262 pages. North Oxford is perhaps the best known and most widely admired Victorian subu rb in Britain. Developed by St. John's College in the years after 1850 to provid e accommodation for the rapidly expanding middle class in the city, the North Ox ford estate was also a highly successful speculative development of farmland int o urban fabric and is one of the main reasons why St. John's is now one of Oxfor d University's wealthiest colleges.In the first full-scale study of St. John 's North Oxford estate, Tanis Hinchcliffe provides a lively and authoritative so cial and architectural history of this landmark area. Hinchcliffe examines the d istinctive and picturesque architecture of the North Oxford houses, which were d esigned by some of the leading architects of the Victorian era--J.J. Stevenson, R. W. Edis, T. E. Collcutt, and others--as well as by lesser-known but important local architects. She describes the complex network of developers, builders, an d financiers that was necessary to bring the estate into being, and tells of the college's struggles to ensure its quality in the face of financial collapses an d the vicissitudes of the local housing market. And she looks at the inhabitants of the estate, members of the professional middle class whose social, religious , and educational views did not always necessarily fit into the traditional life of the Oxford colleges. Continuing her study up until 1970, Hinchcliffe also pr ovides some interesting observations on the fate of Victorian suburbs and the ef forts that have been made to maintain their character over time.Generously i llustrated with contemporary and modern photographs and with building plans, thi s book should be read by anyone interested in Oxford and its environs, or in the.…
