A Short History of British Architecture: From Stonehenge to the Shard by Simon Jenkins

informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

4.0

This is a highly readable survey of British architecture, one of my favorite topics. I enjoyed the narrative laced with the author’s opinions and observations.  My only complaint is that there were not enough photos of the buildings discussed. I had to keep googling them on my phone. Also I would have liked more examples from my beloved Scotland. Otherwise it was a fantastic read with a lot of detail and interweaving of the art/architecture with British history.
