Kurzbeschreibung
A radical new approach to London's Royal parks from renowned architect, Farrell. Extensively illustrated throughout.
Synopsis
London's Royal parks and palaces play a vital role: they highlight the difference between the City of Westminster and the City of London, or the seat of government and monarchy, and the seat of commerce. Sir Terry Farrell, an international architect based in London who has done some of his most sensitive work there, sees them as anti-urban set pieces: great country houses set in rural parkland, originally intended as hunting grounds. Over the years, they have evolved and become assimilated in the dense urban fabric. He believes that in a democracy they should be accessible as a glorious public realm. Published here for the first time are his plans for their full integration into the fabric of London in a positive, creative and visionary way.
