Contents:
Summary: Three outstanding 'public' buildings from different countries demonstrate how Arts and Crafts architects worked within varying environments. St Andrew's Church, Roker, is a striking creation -- a collaboration of work by architect, artists and craftsmen builders; Glasgow School of Art is a synthesis of opposites -- austere and delicate, dark and light, derivative yet innovative; and the First Church of Christ Scientist, Berkeley, is versatile, colourful and inventive. The authors of these volumes describe how each building responds to its context, while examining its unique character. Studying the buildings in one volume enables the reader to decipher their shared influences along with the larger historical and geographical contexts of each.
Contents: Edward Prior, St. Andrew's Church / Trevor Garnham -- Charles Rennie Mackintosh, Glasgow School of Art / James Macaulay -- Bernard Maybeck, First Church of Christ, Scientist / Edward R. Bosley.
