Inhaltsangabe
The Radcliffe Camera is one of the most celebrated buildings in Britain. Named for the physician John Radcliffe&;who directed a large part of his fortune to its realization at the heart of the University of Oxford in the early eighteenth century&;the circular library is instantly recognizable, its great dome rising amidst the gothic spires of the university.
           
Drawing on maps, plans, photographs, and drawings, Dr Radcliffe&;s Library tells the fascinating story of the building&;s creation over more than thirty years. Early designs for the Radcliffe Camera were drawn by the brilliant architect Nicholas Hawksmoor, who conceived the shape so recognizable today: a great rotunda topped by the University of Oxford&;s only dome. From there, it would take decades to acquire and clear the site between the University Church of St Mary&;s and the Bodleian. After Hawksmoor&;s death, the project was taken on by the Scottish architect James Gibbs who refined the design and supervised the library&;s construction.
           
Published to accompany an exhibition opening in November at the Bodleian Library, Dr Radcliffe&;s Library tells the fascinating story of the making of this architectural masterpiece.

Hardcover. Zustand: new. Hardcover. The Radcliffe Camera is one of the most celebrated buildings in Oxford. Instantly recognizable, its great dome rises amid the Gothic spires of the University. Through early maps, plans and drawings, portraits, engravings and photographs this book tells the fascinating story of its creation, which took more than thirty years, and describes its subsequent place within Oxford University.Dr John Radcliffe was the most successful physician of his day. On his death in 1713 he directed that part of his large fortune should be used to build a library on a site at the heart of Oxford, between the University Church of St Marys and the Bodleian. Early designs were made by the brilliant architect Nicholas Hawksmoor, who outlined the shape so familiar today: a great rotunda surmounted by Oxfords only dome.It would take decades to acquire and clear the site, and after Hawksmoors death in 1736 the project was taken over by the Scottish architect James Gibbs, who refined the designs and supervised the construction of Dr Radcliffes Library, creating, in the process, an architectural masterpiece and Britains first circular library.
