'Greek' Thomson

Pages : 275
Book Description
Alexander 'Greek' Thomson is at last being recognised as an architect of genius, comparable in stature to Charles Rennie Mackintosh. Now in paperback, this is the first book in which a team of distinguished architectural commentators and historians use the latest research in the area to illuminate the full range of Thomson's talents. Thomson emerges not just as a great architect, but as a towering intellect whose theory and practice synthesised the best thought of his time in architectural history, aesthetic philosophy and, not least, theology. His ventures into urban planning are explored, and his approaches to facade design and interiors are examined in detail, while rare colour plates complete a portrait which brings this outstanding architect to life. With an Introduction by the late Sir John Summerson this volume celebrates the work of arguably the greatest exponent of the Greek Revival.

Book Description
Alexander "Greek" Thomson (1817-75) is one of the most remarkable architects ever to have worked in Scotland. He produced a distinctive architecture based on a fundamentalist classicism that earned him the nickname "Greek." This beautifully illustrated book is the first to offer a thorough visual guide to Thomson's work, featuring both archive photographs of buildings now demolished, drawings, and Phil Sayer's specially commissioned photographs of extant works. An introductory biographical essay is followed by sections focusing on each of the main building types -- churches, commercial buildings, villas, terraces and tenements -- each introduced by a short essay.
