You live in York UK, you're thinking of paying a visit, or you just
like buildings? Then this new work from John Brooke Fieldhouse is a
must have! It's a guide book. But it's completely different, it's
not what you'd expect from the city of Vikings, Romans, the
medieval, the Civil War, the Georgians, and the Victorians. It's
about the twentieth century and later - right up to 2018. Its
buildings - public and private - how they're designed, engineered,
lit, heated, ventilated...and not just buildings, there are 130
plus items, including bridges, a flood barrier, details like
windows, seating, handrails, landscaping, paving, all the things we
touch when we move through a city, the things that make us feel
good or bad. It's 260 pages, 360 colour photographs, fifteen pages
of indexes and an introduction, consisting of unsentimental and
unvarnished answers by the author to over 30 questions on the book
and York. Answering questions and always asking more. It's not just
the past, it's all about the present and the future. We spend most
of our lives in buildings, they are art, science, psychology and
politics so it's essential we all have our own view about them.
