The Influence of Material on Architecture (Classic Reprint)

Influence of Material on Architecture being the subject given by the Council of the Royal Institute of British Architects for theE ssay Medal for 1896, the following Essay was submitted and obtained theM edal. It was then printed in theB uilder, and at the request of many friends is now published in book form along with the I llustrations. It must be remembered that it is anE ssay, necessarily short by the rules of the Council, and was kept strictly within well-defined limits of space, so that many interesting by-paths have not been entered. It is, however, a subject of considerable importance and great fascination for A rchitects, and should appeal to an even wider circle. A limited edition has, therefore, been printed, and it is hoped will prove of interest to those who may be led to read it. 29, Xkw Bridge Street, LrrwATE CiR crs. E.C., Mtcliaclnuis, iS gy.
