A beautifully packaged, idiosyncratic introduction to British building styles, by the acclaimed illustrator and architectural enthusiast Matthew Rice
Matthew Rice is a writer and illustrator who thought he knew lots about British architecture until he started to write and illustrate this book. His message to readers is, if you want to understand a building, sit in front of it and draw it. You might also have seen his work in Country Life, on his own calendar or on much of his wife Emma Bridgewater's pottery. He lives in Oxford and Norfolk.
A rather handsome tome looking at the grammar and vocabulary of
British buildings
*Cotswold Life*
Nearly a decade on from the original book, the layman's interest in
architecture is growing
*Daily Telegraph*
