Edwin Lutyens: Country Houses

Beschreibung

Gavin Stamp's authoritative introduction places Lutyens firmly among the giants of architecture: 'an architect of rare genius and humanity.' Stamp selected twenty-two houses, representing all phases of Lutyens's career - two hundred beautifully reproduced photographs, combined with Stamp's illuminating essay, provide a unique survey.
