Focusing on the house and museum and its considerable collections
of architectural fragments, models, drawings folios and
publications, this book is about thirteen Lincoln's Inn Fields in
London, England, built in the early 1800s by the renowned
eighteenth-century architect Sir John Soane. The book maps the
influences, references, connections, extensions, and productions at
play in Soane's house-museum. The house, still a public museum, was
highly original in its period, and it continues to influence and
impress architects and historians alike. Today's visitor is
confronted by a dense, complex series of spaces, a strange
accumulation of rooms, objects and effects. This book examines the
ways in which Soane enlisted light, shadow, color, fiction and
narrative, vistas, spatial complexity, the fragment, and the mirror
to produce a spectacular space.
