Phillip James Dodd is one of today’s foremost
experts on classical architecture and interiors. Born and raised in
the United Kingdom, he is an alumnus of the prestigious Prince of
Wales’s Institute of Architecture in London. He moved to America
more than 20 years ago, and after training with some of the most
recognised classical architecture firms in the country founded his
eponymous design firm Phillip James Dodd: Bespoke Residential
Design LLC. Since then, he has become one of the most sought-after
young residential designers practicing today, with designs that can
be found in Manhattan, Greenwich, Palm Beach, and as far away as
Bangalore, India. He has lectured extensively throughout the United
States on the subject of classical architecture, and is the author
of two best-selling books, The Art of Classical Details: Theory
Design & Craftsmanship (2013) and An Ideal Collaboration
(2015).
With more than 35 years of photography experience,
Jonathan Wallen has been the principal
photographer on more than twenty books on architecture, including
titles on McKim, Mead & White, Warren and Wetmore, and John Russell
Pope. He has completed photography for volumes on The Library of
Congress and The National Archives, and has shot for several
history and nature guidebooks for the Smithsonian Institution and
The National Gallery of Art. His work extends to residential and
commercial clients as well as for nonprofit organisations in
Africa, such as Hands of Mothers, Brick by Brick Uganda, and Yamba
Malawi. His photography of genocide survivors in Rwanda has been
exhibited in Chicago, New York, and San Francisco.
Julian Fellowes is the acclaimed creator, writer and
executive producer of the hugely popular Downton Abbey, for which
he has won three Emmys, a Golden Globe, a Special BAFTA, and many
other industry awards. He is an Academy Award–winning writer for
Gosford Park (2001) directed by Robert Altman. He also wrote the
scripts for the films Vanity Fair and Young Victoria, the Broadway
musicals Mary Poppins and School of Rock, as well as television
series Belgravia and The English Game. He is currently working on a
new period television series for HBO, titled The Gilded Age. Julian
was made a peer, as Lord Fellowes of West Stafford, in January
2011.
"I recommend to every Architect, designer and those who have a
passion for New York to own this magnificent book…there is no
better on the extraordinary Beaux Arts of New York." - Lemeau,
Decorator's Insider
"This great, beautiful, glossy, polychromatic slab of a book more
than does justice to an epic period in architecture when some of
the world’s most luscious buildings were designed for some of the
most unpleasant people in American history." - Timothy
Brittain-Catlin, World of Interiors
"Full-color photography from Wallen and insightful commentary by
Dodd welcome readers into some of New York’s celebrated Beaux-Arts
landmarks—including The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Grand Central
Terminal and some that are not open to the public—and the world of
those who imagined them." - Tani Levitt, Gotham Mag
"But to hold us over, there’s a dazzling new book, An American
Renaissance: Beaux-Arts Architecture in New York City (from Images
Publishing, with a forward by TGA creator Julian Fellowes), which
richly examines the lasting architectural legacy of the era’s
big-spending industry titans." - Ann D'Adamo, Black Book Mag
"Full-color photography from Wallen and insightful commentary by
Dodd welcome readers into some of New York's celebrated Beaux-Arts
landmarks." - Tani Levitt, Modern Luxury
"In Phillip James Dodd’s glorious new book, An American
Renaissance: Beaux-Arts Architecture in New York City, you’ll find
buildings whose own names were serially preceded by their
architect’s in common conversation—not out of some formal, Gilded
Age sense of obligation but because they deserved to be." -
AirMail
"New York would be little more than another faceless
glass-and-steel city were it not for its Gilded Age buildings and
institutions... An American Renaissance: Beaux-Arts Architecture in
New York City, written by Phillip James Dodd with photography by
Jonathan Wallen, is a gilded embrace of this legacy." - The Critic
