About This Item
Even when an architectural drawing does not show any human figures, we can imagine many different characters just off the page: architects, artists, onlookers, clients, builders, developers, philanthropists - working, observing, admiring, arguing. In this book, Philippa Lewis captures some of these personalities through reminiscences, anecdotes, conversations, letters, and monologues that collectively offer the imagined histories of twenty-five architectural drawings. 213 pages : illustrations (chiefly colour), plans ; 23 cm. Slight shelf wear to edges and creasing to spine, no inscriptions, tight and square binding. Photographs available on request. All books dispatched same or next working day in robust packaging.
