What is the ‘Scottishness’ of Scottish architecture?
The architecture of Scotland exists in many forms. In Mousa to Mackintosh, Frank Arneil Walker examines the recognisable and recurring features evident in Scotland’s buildings across the centuries to build a picture of ‘Scottishness’ in architecture.
This chronological history presents an expansive view of architecture in Scotland, from Iron Age Brochs and classical country houses to baronial tower-houses and modernist New Towns, including the work of renowned architects such as Charles Rennie Mackintosh, Robert Adam, Basil Spence and Robert Lorimer. Walker considers the relationship between national characteristics and international influences in these structures.
This book contains a wealth of information and combination of supporting imagery in the form of monochrome and colour photography, illustrations and architectural plan drawings.
