"British artist Nicholas Hawksmoor (approx. 1661-1736) is
recognized as one of the major contributors to the traditions of
British and European architectural culture. Nevertheless, there is
insufficient visual documentation and analysis of his work.
Nicholas Hawksmoor: Seven Churches for London reconsiders his
archtiecture in relation to urbanism. The publication focuses on a
series of important London churches the architect designed during
the early part of the eighteenth century. The key distinguishing
features of these churches are their spires, each designed with
different qualities and motifs. While Hawksmoor was inspired by the
ancient history of architecture, his work was considered radical
and contemporary in its day.
Photographer Helene Binet was specially commissioned to document
the various aspects of the seven remaining London churches. Her
immaculate black and white photographs demonstrate the beauty of
Hawksmoor's architecture with special attention to the variety of
scales, sites, interiors, textures, and materials. "
