Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Liverpool's landscape, both in the city centre and throughout its historic suburbs, is studded with institutional buildings, some - like the great hospitals - very prominent, others - like Sunday Schools and chapels - punctuating ordinary street scenes. All, however, tell the story of how charity and public authorities responded to the desperate need of the poor and vulnerable in the 19th century. Attractively illustrated by photographs and drawings, this book emphasises the importance of institutional buildings to our understanding of Liverpool's character and demonstrates how new uses can be found to ensure that they continue to form part of the city's historic environment.

Book excerpt: The World in One School explores the global influence of Britain’s oldest university school of architecture in both word and image. The home of the “Liverpool Manner” style—developed under the leadership of Sir Charles Reilly and honed by architects like Herbert Rowse and Charles Dod—the Liverpool School of Architecture hosted students from all corners of the world and sent its graduates to placements in international practice. Tracing the School’s history—from its origins through the influence of America in the interwar years to a strong Modernist presence influenced by Edwin Maxwell Fry’s and George Checkley’s inspirations, this remarkable story of a School with five Royal Gold Medalists for architecture is a fascinating study of the transatlantic trends that shape education and practice in architecture and design.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The vast trade which passed through Liverpool's historic docks was managed and organised in an increasingly specialised and sophisticated business district. New and ever-larger offices, banks, warehouses and salerooms, often innovative in design and of spectacular architectural quality, were built in a highly concentrated area, which powerfully represents the confidence and prosperity of the period. This book, attractively illustrated by photographs and drawings, tells the story of the business quarter from the 18th century to the present day and emphasises that conservation of historic commercial buildings is important in retaining the area's distinctive character.

Download or read book Storehouses of Empire written by Colum Giles and published by Historic England. This book was released on 2004 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some of the world's great cities are linked in the popular mind with their river and, for reasons both ancient and modern, Liverpool and the Mersey are inseparable. Treacherous and fast flowing, with a huge tidal range, the Mersey nevertheless formed part of the chain that carried the trade of the world, linking large parts of northern and midland England with markets and sources of supply across the globe. For centuries, this traffic passed through Liverpool, the landing point for imports and the port of dispatch for goods sent overseas or around the coast. Liverpool developed to serve a growing national and international trading network and for many decades handled more of the cargoes of Britain's maritime empire even than London. In Liverpool, the warehouse represents the essential function of the city and nowhere else can the evolution of this important building type be studied in such depth from surviving buildings.

Download or read book Georgian London written by Lucy Inglis and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2013-09-05 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Georgian London: Into the Streets, Lucy Inglis takes readers on a tour of London's most formative age - the age of love, sex, intellect, art, great ambition and fantastic ruin. Travel back to the Georgian years, a time that changed expectations of what life could be. Peek into the gilded drawing rooms of the aristocracy, walk down the quiet avenues of the new middle class, and crouch in the damp doorways of the poor. But watch your wallet - tourists make perfect prey for the thriving community of hawkers, prostitutes and scavengers. Visit the madhouses of Hackney, the workshops of Soho and the mean streets of Cheapside. Have a coffee in the city, check the stock exchange, and pop into St Paul's to see progress on the new dome. This book is about the Georgians who called London their home, from dukes and artists to rent boys and hot air balloonists meeting dog-nappers and life-models along the way. It investigates the legacies they left us in architecture and art, science and society, and shows the making of the capital millions know and love today.

She lives in London with her husband. Georgian London is her first book.
