Items related to Cambridge: An Architectural Guide
Synopsis
This is a comprehensive guide to the architectural richness of Cambridge and its environs. The wealth of the University has generated an extraordinary legacy, with work by many of England's greatest architects, including G F Bodley, James Gibbs, Sir Giles Gilbert Scott, William Wilkins, Alfred Waterhouse, Wren, and Wyatville. In this century the list includes Lutyens, Lasdun, Powell and Moya, Cullinan, McCormac, Jamieson and Pritchard, John Outram, Dixon and Jones, Leslie Martin, Stirling - whose Faculty of History Library is a controversial masterpiece - and many others. Outside the city, Michael Hopkins' Schlumberger Research Centre is thrillingly high-tech and Foster Associate's new building at the American Air Museum is typically sleek and sophisticated. This book provides an introduction outlining the context which has produced such a mass of good and sometimes brilliant buildings. While the bulk of the guide, which describes and illustrates 150 buildings, is devoted to the University and the colleges, it also covers houses and churches, civic and commercial buildings.
