Edwin Heathcote
London Caffs

2004 y.
Publisher: Academy Press
Description: London`s caffs occur like shots of urban deja vu surviving in the city`s most unexpected comers. A fading, Formica and tile-covered world of cheap, basic food, thumbed tabloids, frothy coffee machines, and a rooted, genuinely local culture. It is a world holding out against the corporate uniformity engulfing the city`s streets and a realm which blends modernist aesthetics with a typically British utility functionalism. The gleaming chrome of the spluttering coffee machines are London`s equivalents of the steaming vents which punctuate New York`s streets, like geysers spewing up essence of coffee from beneath the labyrinthine city, essential outlets from the pressure of the city. They are sets for an eccentric mix of buzz, bonhomie and the forlorn existential angst of the half-empty urban interior and an unmissable part of London cityscape. [detailed...]

Publisher: —
Description: London`s historic houses and domestic interiors have suffered greater loss and change than most of their provincial counterparts due to political and social change, war, and a tradition of continuous rebuilding. The photographic archive accumulated over the past century by the magazine Country Life forms a remarkable and evocative record of houses as they were. In this latest collection, the vanished magnificence of the great 18th-century houses of the aristocracy, from the glamorous Rococo interiors of Norfolk House to the Gothic Pomfret Castle. Other houses are seen at key moments in their history: Robert Adam`s Home House occupied by Samuel Courtauld and his celebrated collection of Impressionist masterpieces, the monumental Classical interiors of Dorchester House, photographed shortly before they were swept away.

Anthony Sutcliffe
London: An Architectural History

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: London is one of the world’s greatest cities, and its architecture is a unique heritage. The Tower of London is an urban castle unique in Europe, St Paul’s is one of the world’s greatest domed cathedrals, and the squares and crescents of the West End inspired Haussmann’s Paris. In London, it is the variety of the streets, buildings, and parks that strikes the visitor. No king or government has ever set its mark here. Private ownership has shaped the city, and architects have served a wide variety of clients. London’s Classical era produced an elegant townscape between 1600 and 1830, but medieval, Tudor, and Victorian London were a potpourri of buildings large and small, each making its own design statement. In London: An Architectural History Anthony Sutcliffe takes the reader through two thousand years of architecture from the sublime to the mundane. With over 300 color illustrations the book is intended for the general reader and… [detailed...]

Wherever and whenever state and church, state and autocracy, political and architectural ambition have met and loved one another hungrily, domes have raised their imperious, lofty heads. At once magnificent and messy, old-fashioned and ultra-modern, opulent and squalid, London is something of a mongrel city, cross-bred over the centuries from cut-throat commerce, high finance and unrestrained creativity. For all its inventiveness, however, it is now also a city unable to provide its citizens with decent public transport, housing or services, beset and betrayed by governments who take from it but refuse to give back. In the lead-up to the much-hyped Millennium, a fortune was spent on lavish building projects?giant wheels, great courts, titanic art galleries, ambitious museums, a Brobdingnagian… [detailed...]
