Architecture York by John Brooke Fieldhouse is a unique guide to the city's modern and contemporary buildings. This book delves into the design, engineering, and everyday aspects of 20th-century architecture in York, covering over 130 items including bridges, flood barriers, and public spaces. With 360 colour photographs and an introduction that explores the author's thoughts on the subject, this book offers a fresh perspective on the city's built environment. The book is not just a nostalgic look at the past, but also a consideration of how buildings shape our experiences in the present. By examining the often-overlooked details of architecture, Fieldhouse provides a nuanced understanding of the art and science behind building design. With its blend of photography, indexes, and insightful questions, this book is an essential resource for anyone interested in architecture and urban spaces. Whether you're planning a visit to York or simply want to understand more about the city's modern buildings, Architecture York is a valuable companion.
