Recenzii
Classified as 'Research Essential' by YBP Library Services
A Yankee Book Peddler US Core Title for 2015
'Sir John Soane’s Influence on Architecture from 1791 is an important addition to the body of research on Soane’s enduring influence as a collector, educator, thinker, and radical architect. Bradbury’s book is an engaging and thought-provoking reminder of the importance of Soane’s legacy as an inspiring resource for subsequent generations of architects and designers that continues to this very day in many examples of contemporary creative practice.' Abraham Thomas, Director, Sir John Soane’s Museum, UK
’This brilliant and thoroughly researched book successfully challenges the widely held belief of architectural historians that Soane did not have a major or significant influence on his contemporaries or successors. Our view of Soane will thus be transformed by Bradbury's detailed and fresh account of 19th- and 20th-century architecture.’ David Watkin, Emeritus Professor, University of Cambridge, UK
'Here is an interesting and enjoyable book that is as valuable for the questions it raises as much as for what it actually says.' Cercles

Descriere
Through examinations of internationally-renowned architects, Bradbury demonstrates that Sir John Soane’s influence has been truly international in the pre-modern era, reaching throughout the British Isles and beyond to North America and even colonial Australia. Through his inclusion of select, detailed case studies, Bradbury contends that Soane’s is a continuing, not negated, legacy in architecture.
