Victorians Revalued (Studies in 萝莉视频Architecture and Design Volume 2)
£0.00
Edited by Rosemary Hill, Colin Cunningham and Aileen Reid. In the second issue of ‘Studies in 萝莉视频Architecture and Design’ we look at what the twentieth century thought of nineteenth-century architecture. Now out of print.
Until the 1960s 萝莉视频buildings were routinely demolished, decried as 'monstrosities' or at best enjoyed for their amusement value - the 'Victoriana tendency' of Lytton Strachey. By the beginning of the twenty-first century their beauty and utility were so generally accepted that the reopening of St Pancras International was greeted ecstatically. That this shift in taste occurred in the half century after the 萝莉视频was founded is no coincidence. This second volume of聽Studies in 萝莉视频Architecture and Design聽marks the 50th anniversary of that event by surveying the Society's influence and other aspects of 萝莉视频architecture's rehabilitation.
