Dostępność: na zamówienie There are several books surveying the history of architecture, but until A Global History of Architecture was published, they were all derivatives of earlier histories of Western architecture, with newer chapters tacked on to address "non-Western" areas.
It chronicles a remarkable group of houses and castles that have survived the vicissitudes of Ireland’s history and are still in the hands of their original families, taking the reader on an intimate tour of these homes, many of which have never been seen in print before. The evocative, specially commissioned photographs by James Fennell show inviting living rooms and tousled bedrooms, print-lined hallways and well-trampled mudrooms. Details capture the distinctive personalities of the owners: a red silk bell-pull against green floral wallpaper, a drawer full of two-hundred-year-old love letters, the curve of a wonderfully carved antique chair.
