Voysey SIR EDWIN LUTYENS is widely regarded as one of Britain's greatest architects. In a career of over 50 years spanning the Victorian Edwardian and modern eras of architecture Lutyens was prolific. His work ranged from great country houses city commercial office buildings his famous World War I memorials across Europe and Britain and his magnum opus designs for New Delhi built during the 1920s and 1930s. Despite such diversity of building types across his long career Lutyens's most celebrated works remain his country houses which first established his reputation during the 1890s. As Lutyens's practice flourished his work became widely promoted in publications such as Country Life magazine and his houses particularly those designed in the vernacular manner would subsequently give rise to an entire genre of the English country house that became known as it is to this day as a ‰Û÷Lutyens-style' house. Sir Edwin Lutyens: The Arts and Crafts Houses brings together in new wide-format full-color photography a definitive collection of 45 of Lutyens's great Arts and Crafts houses in which he ingeniously blended the style of the Arts and Crafts movement with his own inventive interpretation of the Classical language of architecture. The book features 575 all-new current photographs of the houses inside and outside together with a selection of floor plans of the houses and a fresh interpretation of Lutyens's enduring architectural genius.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHardcover:\u003c\/b\u003e 500 pages\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Images Publishing Dist Ac (December 12 2017)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1864707119\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 978-1864707113\u003c\/p\u003e                                                                                    \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e    Product Dimensions:     \u003c\/b\u003e    12.1 x 1.5 x 12.3 inches    \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eShipping Weight:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.6 pounds \u003c\/p\u003e    \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Architecture","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":30800525525080,"sku":"1864707119","price":94.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0266\/6217\/4808\/products\/51SDobaTobL.jpg?v=1570952443","url":"https:\/\/socialskills21.myshopify.com\/products\/sir-edwin-lutyens-crafts-houses","provider":"socialskills21","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
