This book provides a comprehensive survey of Wren's work, including his iconic St. Paul's Cathedral, as well as his churches and secular buildings.

The famous dome, rebuilt after the Great Fire of 1666, is considered one of the most beautiful and striking buildings in the world. This book offers a detailed look at Wren's unexecuted designs, providing insight into his creative process and artistic vision. With its well-illustrated pages and in-depth analysis, this book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in architecture, history, or the life and work of Sir Christopher Wren.
