Classic Columns: 40 Years of Writing on Architecture

by Robert Adam, Roger Scruton (Foreword), Clive Aslet (Editor)

'Classic Columns' presents the highlights from forty years of writing about architecture. These pieces are thoughtful, original, and cogently expressed. Architecture and the Orders are here, of course – but so are observations on the contemporary world, how people live and how societies are organised. The main themes are tradition, Classicism, place-making, new housing, heritage, and globalisation. All the contributions are characteristically clear-thinking and thought-provoking, and might otherwise be lost in the back numbers of various publications.
