Hardcover. Zustand: new. Hardcover. Georgetown, the capital of Guyana, on the northeast coast of South America, has been described as 'the Venice of the West Indies', and its elegant canals and bridges, lush tropical vegetation and handsome buildings make it a place of great beauty. The city's architecture is essentially colonia…l, having been moulded by the French, Dutch, British and Spanish during the 18th and 19th centuries. Compton Davis's book documents these fascinating buildings, realized largely in wood rather than the more durable brick and stone; indeed, some houses have disappeared lost to fire, demolition or simply neglect since they were photographed. Davis, an architect, begins by giving a brief history of Georgetown itself, describing the influences that resulted in its charming and characteristic architecture, and explaining the various house types that are to be found in the city. The main part of the book is organized geographically, dividing the city into its various districts and describing the notable houses to be found in each. Photographs of the buildings and their particular features are accompanied by short descriptive and historical texts. This beautiful book, lovingly photographed and researched over several decades, will appeal to architecture lovers everywhere, as well as to those interested in colonial and South American history, and that of building in wood. AUTHOR: Compton Davis is an architect who practises in London. He was born in Guyana, and moved to England during the 1960s to complete his education. He started photographing the buildings of Georgetown in 1983 as part of his final-year dissertation at the Polytechnic of Central London (now the University of Westminster), where he read architecture. SELLING POINTS: . The first book to survey extensively the architectural history of Georgetown, Guyana . Includes many remarkable buildings that no longer exist, providing an invaluable architectural record . Features specially taken photographs throughout 215 colour illustrations Georgetown's architecture was molded by the French, Dutch, British and Spanish during the C18th/C19th and built in a classical style reinterpreted by local craftsmen largely in wood. The book gives a brief history of Georgetown, explaining the various house types with photographs of the buildings and their particular features Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Hardback. Zustand: New. Georgetown, the capital of Guyana, on the northeast coast of South America, has been described as 'the Venice of the West Indies', and its elegant canals and bridges, lush tropical vegetation and handsome buildings make it a place of great beauty. The city's architecture is essentially colonial, having be…en moulded by the French, Dutch, British and Spanish during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Built in a classical style reinterpreted by local craftsmen and realized largely in the region's plentiful wood rather than more durable brick and stone, these buildings are now suffering from neglect and the ravages of the hot, humid climate. Some are being carefully preserved and maintained, but many more are disintegrating or being demolished to make way for new development, much of it in glass and concrete.This book documents those colonial buildings, some of which have disappeared even since they were photographed.

Photographs of the buildings and their particular features are accompanied by short descriptive and historical texDuring the thirty years since the project began, a number of the buildings have disappeared-some destroyed by fire and others by decay, and some more recently demolished and replaced by concrete structures. The photographs have become a historical document and visual archive that charts the transformation of the building culture of Georgetown during the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries, from its original colonial wooden structures to an international style based on glass and concrete. The photographs also commemorate the elegant colonial garden city that Georgetown once was, as well as celebrating the Guyanese craftsmen and builders who helped to shape it.This beautiful book, lovingly photographed and researched over several decades, will appeal to architecture lovers everywhere, as well as to those interested in colonial history, the visual history of South America and the history of building in wood.It will also appeal to conservationists and preservationists and anyone interested in the protection of vulnerable buildings.
