John, Richard/David Watkin: John Simpson - The Queen's Gallery Buckingham Palace and other works

John Simpson is one of the leading architects in Europe and America who have returned in recent decades to the classical language of architecture, with all its richness, subtlety, and historic resonances. His public and private works show how this language, though abandoned by the Modernists, lends itself with particular ease to the incorporation of the latest developments in technology. Describing a wide range of work from furniture design to townplanning, this beautifully illustrated book gives pride of place to his principal commission so far, the new Queen's Gallery at Buckingham Palace. 135 Seiten mit 150 überwiegend farbigen Abb., Großformat, broschiert (Andreas Papadakis Publishers 2002) textsauber, leichte Gebrauchsspuren, Ecken und Kanten leicht bestoßen/text clean copy, minor signs of use, edges slightly bumped
