Recenzii

This highly informative and sumptuous book shows how the threat of climate change is also an opportunity to make buildings more beautiful.
Adam and Katy are rethinking how we build, and coming up with something beautiful.
A splendid book. A real addition to what's out there and very complementary to the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings' new technical manual on Old Building Repairs.
