Summary:

The buildings of London are its glory and its character, and perhaps once in every generation a book is published that does them justice. This is such a book. Matthew Weinreb, a native Londoner and architectural photographer, has devoted much of his career to chronicling the architecture of the city, capturing the drama of its facades and enjoying most of all the often unnoticed details and ornaments that grace so many of its buildings. Matthew's love of London has no.
Doubt been engendered by the undying enthusiasm of his father Ben Weinreb whose extensive knowledge of London led him to devise and coedit the best-selling London Encyclopaedia with Christopher Hibbert. London Architecture is composed of a sequence of patterns and contrasts between stunning images punctuated by a series of essays which explore London through its architectural features and materials. This novel approach not only delights the eye but provides revealing.
Facts about London's architecture. Through the eye of an expert photographer, this book has emerged as a work of art in its own right, and an unrivalled portrait of one of the world's greatest cities.
