ArchitectureWeek Description
This engaging book investigates the largely forgotten small houses that survive from the eighteenth century. It reveals the era’s urban architecture and the lives of a culturally distinctive metropolitan population. Guillery discusses how where, by and for whom the houses were built, stressing vernacular continuity and local variability. He examines the effects of creeping industrialization, and considers the nature of speculative suburban growth. Providing evocative illustrations, he compares these houses to urban domestic architecture elsewhere, and suggests that the eighteenth-century vernacular metropolis has enduring influence.
