ISBN: 9781861890733 / Angielski / Miękka / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Here Comes the Sun looks at how social reformers, planners and architects in the early twentieth century tried to remake the city in the image of a sunlit, ordered utopia. While much has been written about architectural modernism, Worpole concentrates less on buildings and more on the planning of the spaces in-between the parks, public squares, open-air museums, promenades, public pools and other public leisure facilities. Life in the open was of particular concern to early urban planners and reformers, with their dreams of release from the confines of overcrowded, unsanitary slums....

The Cottages of England: Country Homes from the 16th to 18th Century
ISBN: 9781905217496 / Angielski / Miękka / 228 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. When The Cottages of England was first published in 1929, it captured a rapidly disappearing way of life. Travelling the length and breadth of the country, Basil Oliver's photos and descriptions formed a vital record of the variety and character of the humble, yet much loved English cottage. Many of the buildings in this book are now lost forever; yet Oliver's work remains as a testament to their simplicity and charm, and to a rural past that is all too rarely glimpsed today. Includes examples of stone-built and timber-frame buildings, combed patterns, flintwork and thatched roofs.
