EH BOOK OF INDUSTRIAL ENGLAND (English Heritage (Paper)) - Tapa blanda

Industrial architecture has had an extraordinary impact on the English landscape - from the imposing gloominess of northern mills and Midland's ironworks to the art deco splendour of the Hoover factory in West London. In this work, Stratton and Trinder show how factories evolved over three centuries and what machinery, structure and ornamentation reveals about the function and status of particular complexes, as well as about those who built and worked in them. Encompassing over 15 years of study, the book is suitable for architects, students, historians and general readers.
