Description
Rural and Urban Architecture Between Two Cultures explores how the cultures of town and countryside interact in architecture. This collection of essays, written by an international range of recognized theorists, provides insight into the relationship between urban and rural environments.
Drawing on a broad historical sweep, this book draws on a symposium of the Society of Architectural Historians of Great Britain. It offers a unique perspective on how the built environment reflects the cultural exchange between different regions.
With contributions from leading experts in the field, this book is an essential resource for students and professionals of architecture and urban design looking to understand the complex relationships between urban and rural spaces.
