Synopsis
John Nash (1752-1835) was the most successful and fashionable architect of his time. Architect, town-planner, landscape designer, bridge-builder, engineer and entrepreneur, Nash outlived his principal patron, George IV, by five years. After a disheartening start, when his first speculative buildings in Bloomsbury failed and left him bankrupt, Nash moved to Wales to rebuild his career, eventually returning to London in 1796. He had made a remarkable recovery and went on to become the most successful and fashionable architect of the period. His buildings reflect a variety of styles, including neo-classical, Tudor and Gothic, with a strong emphasis on the Picturesque. His Metropolitan Improvements - Regent's Park, Regent Street, Trafalgar Square - were the most comprehensive developments ever carried out in London, even until recent times.

About the Author
Michael Mansbridge studied Architecture and Photography before deciding to become an architect. He worked for Howard Lobb in London, and later joined Barry Webber and Partners, also in London.
From Library Journal
Mansbridge has compiled an extensive inventory of buildings, bridges, and monuments designed and executed by Nash, whose career is highlighted by his work at Regent's Park, Regent Street, and Trafalgar Square. John Summerson, who wrote the introduction, adds that the list is too generous, for it includes many Nash-like buildings. Nonetheless, the catalog is filled with clear, detailed photographs of Nash's existing buildings and projects and sketches or drawings of those projected, destroyed, or unrealized. The catalog is arranged by the building's date of completion, and each listing includes a brief summary of the project and its significance. A brief biographical summary of the life and career of Nash, an alphabetical index of clients and patrons, a gazetteer and map listing the location of existing works, and a glossary of architectural terms are also included. A delightful addition to any collection.
