100 Churches 100 Years

內容簡介

內容簡介 Explore the development of modern church architecture in Britain through 100 iconic buildings. From London’s St. John the Baptist, designed by Charles Nicholson and completed in 1928, to Basil Spence’s Coventry Cathedral and Giles Gilbert Scott’s Liverpool Cathedral, here are 100 of the most architecturally significant churches in Britain built since 1914. Along with the more famous examples, the list includes the abandoned brutalist St. Peter’s Seminary (1966) and the light-filled Bishop Edward King Chapel (2013), along with mosques and synagogues. Among the architects showcased are such towering figures as George Pace, Eric Gill, and Frederick Gibberd, and illuminating essays from leading design historians discuss stained glass, twentieth-century fixtures and fittings, the art and artifacts found in the churches, and the influence of European architects such as Le Corbusier and Alvar Aalto.
