Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the state of domestic architecture in England, exploring its evolution and the ongoing debate surrounding its revival. The author argues that English vernacular architecture has fallen into disrepair, failing to meet the standards of beauty and utility that characterized earlier periods. He advocates for a return to the "indigenous architecture" of England's past, particularly the pointed architecture of the 13th and 14th centuries, as a foundation for a style that reflects the nation's character and meets contemporary needs. The author explores the challenges of this revival, including the tendency toward architectural masquerade, the lack of a unified purpose regarding style, and the prevailing prejudice against incorporating pointed architecture into secular buildings. He challenges readers to embrace a more nuanced and progressive approach to architectural design, one that draws inspiration from the past but adapts to the demands of the present. This book offers a compelling argument for the importance of a national architecture that reflects not only historical values but also the unique requirements of the era in which it is built.
