London, City in Disguise: Architecture in the Shaping of the British Capital's Character

This book traces the history of architecture in the British capital, from the seventeenth to the twentieth century, analysing the three characters, ideals or disguises it produced: the ideal classical, the romantic and the modern. In this way, it is both an interpretation of the history of London architecture and an interesting guide to the city's architecture. 310 p.: Ill., B/w, floors and sections, 24x16.5 cm., Paperback
