Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A richly illustrated, revisionist overview of Scotland's early Classical architecture This volume tells the story of Scotland's unique and influential contribution to the Age of Classicism during a period of major political and architectural change. Interposed between the decline of the Scottish castle and its revival as Scotch Baronial architecture, proto-Enlightenment Scotland straddled the age of 'Glorious Revolution' and union with England. This beautifully illustrated book documents the architectural needs and developments of a transformational period in Scottish history as the country emerged from a decade's military occupation. It draws on a wealth of primary sources, including family, institutional and national archives in Scotland, England and France, to evidence the architectural reflections of Scotland's new elites. It also analyses some of Scotland's best-known architectural sites, as well as reference points from further afield including Paris tenements, Roman precedents and English parallels. Broad in scope, 'The Architecture of Scotland, 1660-1750' covers private and public/civic architecture, as well as the architecture and design of both the urban scene and country estate in the era before Edinburgh New Town. Key Features ?
