"'There is the puzzle which it is the purpose of this book to
try to elucidate. On the one hand, we have the alleged deficiencies
of suburban taste; on the other we have the appeal it holds for
ninety out of a hundred Englishmen, an appeal which cannot be
explained away as some strange instance of mass aberration...'"
Sir James Richards (1907-1992), editor of the "Architectural
Review" for 34 years, was arguably the leading advocate in Britain
for the modern movement in architecture. "The Castles on the Ground
"(1946) constitutes Richards' argument for and appreciation of the
virtues of the built environment and the architectural aesthetic of
suburbia. Concise and elegantly phrased, the volume is further
blessed with superb illustrations by John Piper.
