Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. 232 pages. 3 Small bumps to cover edge, otherwise like newIf the whole of a town is in the end not visually pleasing, the town is not worth having.-Sir Nikolaus PevsnerPevsner's Townscape presents a pre viously unpublished work by Sir Nikolaus Pevsner (1902-1983), one of the twentie th-century's most widely read scholars of art and architectural history. Begun i n the mid-1940s, Pevsner's unfinished manuscript is something of an anomaly in h is vast oeuvre of writings in so far as it sought to complement the body of thou ght emerging in postwar Britain that was concerned with urban design, generally referred to as Townscape.As assembled and annotated here, Pevsner's Tow nscape: On Visual Planning and the Picturesque comprises three parts. The first part analyzes English planning tradition before 1800. The second surveys English planning theory or, by Pevsner's lights, the theory of the picturesque. The thi rd part is essentially a meditation on how this tradition and this theory shaped architecture and urban planning in England in the nineteenth century and, poten tially, the twentieth as well. The work as a whole is a surprisingly fresh plea for a visual approach to urban design and common sense in architecture, one that sought to incorporate and mediate, rather than idealize and exclude.

Hardback. Zustand: New. This is a previously unpublished work by one of the most important architectural historians of the twentieth century. This previously unpublished work by Nikolaus Pevsner (1902-1983), one of the twentieth-century's most widely read scholars of art and architectural history, was begun in the mid-1940s. The unfinished manuscript is something of an anomaly in his vast oeuvre of writings in so far as it sought to complement the body of thought emerging in postwar Britain that was concerned with urban design, generally referred to as 'Townscape'. As assembled and annotated here, "Visual Planning and the Picturesque" comprises three parts. The first analyses English planning tradition before 1800. The second surveys English planning theory or, by Pevsner's description, the theory of the picturesque. The third part is essentially a meditation on how this tradition and this theory shaped architecture and urban planning in England in the 19th century and, potentially, the 20th as well. The work as a whole is a surprisingly fresh plea for a visual approach to urban design and common sense in architecture, one that sought to incorporate and mediate rather than idealize and exclude.
