The architectural interpretation of history door John Gloag
3/16/22
I understand this book isn't for everyone, but as a lover of furniture and dream houses I greatly enjoyed learning about the subject.
More than a dictionary, this is a trove of words used to describe, and the names of the makers of, furniture. Great reference, with pictures and indications of the influences which affect the form, function and character of these extensions of human bodies, during the last eight and a half centuries. The final Section has a Chart showing the Periods, types, materials and craftsmen from 100 to 1950.

A cathedral is destroyed in a zeppelin raid. Will it be rebuilt traditionally or in modern style. The benefactor has his own ideas. Not the story of Coventry cathedral but quite a paralel by a good design writer
