The subtitle of the book is "A social, historical and architectural study of housing in Glasgow". It is a fine account of monumental sandstone tenement blocks that make Glasgow look more like a city on continental Europe than anywhere in the British Isles. ( ) essential reading for anyone interested in how a building style can influence and be influenced by the character of a city. Glasgow and tenements are synonymous, and Frank Wordsall takes us right back to their mediaeval precursors, through their Victorian heyday, right up to the dark days of the later Twentieth Century. He intertwines the legal and economic background to the builders and how the buildings themselves were integral to the social development of the city, All this is a very readable work, well illustrated and with a handy building glossary - I now know what a skew-putt is. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
