Synopsis
This historical study traces the architectural styles of UK banks from the 18th century to the present day, demonstrating how architects adopted ideas from Venice and Elizabethan Britain to give banking buildings respectability and continuity. The author describes the evolution of design through neo-Tudor, the Gothic revival, neo-Classical and neo-Georgian styles, and provides a full catalogue of the most significant bank buildings mentioned in the text. Concluding the book, the author predicts future trends of banking design, explaining how the call for customer friendliness and the arrival of new technology have made their own impact on architectural styles.
