Description

Part of a series that places buildings within their historical context, this text considers the Engineering Department Building at Leicester University, the Willis Faber Dumas Building and the Lloyd's Building. It includes specially produced technical drawings that explain how the buildings were detailed and put together. By looking at the buildings together, the reader can analyze and chart the development of modern British architecture and examine the distinctive approaches taken by three different partnerships.
