	BEARD, GEOFFREY The Work of Christopher Wren Edinburgh, John Bartholomew & Son. 1982, First Edition. Cloth, 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall. Ill.: Anthony Kersting.

Profusely illustrated with 207 colour and b/w plates, and maps throughout text, pages clean and bright in firm binding. The name Christopher Wren is virtually synonymous with St Paul's Cathedral, the building that occupied his attention for over 35 years. He was, however, responsible for many other imposing buildings, for example, Hampton Court, Greenwich Palace, the Sheldonian Theatre at Oxford, and the Library at Trinity College Cambridge. The famous city churches which he rebuilt after the Great Fire of London show his skill on a smaller scale and on awkward sites; their spires and towers changed London's skyline and some of them can still be seen today in spite of war damage and the development of office blocks. The photographs include valuable pre-war group of city churches and a specially commissioned set on St Paul's Cathedral. Fine/Fine.

	HOSKIN, JOHN Robert G. Boughey and Associates: Projects 1973-1993 Thailand, The Key Publisher. 1993, First Edition. Hard Cover, 4t. Publishers original dark blue cloth with silver motif and lettering to front cover and silver lettering to spine. Dustwrapper: unclipped, now protected in Brodart. White endpapers, no inscriptions. SIGNED BY ROBERT BOUGHEY Sept 1993 on title page. 214pp, profusely illustrated with colour photographs, plans and elevation drawings. Pages clean and bright in firm binding. Section at the rear of the book where there is a Thai Version and a Japanese Version for the text. The works of Robert G. Boughey and Associates (RGB) evoke plush professional image, perfection in glass and granite detailing and simple volumetrics, all of which led to the firm being established in the forefront of corporate building design. The turning point must be the Bank of America where the simple exterior was matched by a quiet and plush interior. Another example during that period being the Ciba Geigy Head Office Building. In the meantime. The firm, like other design offices, made forays into traditional Thai idiom at Pinehurst Country Club. RGB paid respect to the hierarchical use of the architectural elements instead of plagiarising them, thereby demonstrating the firm's genuine understanding of Thai architecture. RGB also made forays into the industrial field, a good example being Yamaha Sports (Thailand) Factory. By creating a 'factory friendly' design RGB showed that factories need not look 'industrial'. In corporate architecture the ultimate must rest with RGB's Obayashi Building, Diethelm Tower, and Alma Link Building. Despite the size of the latter, RGB was 'public minded' in this case, 'street friendly'. By setting the Alma Link Building back a little from the street, an open lawn is created in front while existing big trees are allowed to grow through the main entrance concrete canopy.

Profusely illustrated with 207 colour and b/w plates, and maps throughout text, pages clean and bright in firm binding. The name Christopher Wren is virtually synonymous with St Paul's Cathedral, the building that occupied his attention for over 35 years. He was, however, responsible for many other imposing buildings, for example, Hampton Court, Greenwich Palace, the Sheldonian Theatre at Oxford, and the Library at Trinity College Cambridge. The famous city churches which he rebuilt after the Great Fire of London show his skill on a smaller scale and on awkward sites; their spires and towers changed London's skyline and some of them can still be seen today in spite of war damage and the development of office blocks. The photographs include valuable pre-war group of city churches and a specially commissioned set on St Paul's Cathedral. Fine/Fine.

Section at the rear of the book where there is a Thai Version and a Japanese Version for the text. The works of Robert G. Boughey and Associates (RGB) evoke plush professional image, perfection in glass and granite detailing and simple volumetrics, all of which led to the firm being established in the forefront of corporate building design. The turning point must be the Bank of America where the simple exterior was matched by a quiet and plush interior. Another example during that period being the Ciba Geigy Head Office Building. In the meantime. The firm, like other design offices, made forays into traditional Thai idiom at Pinehurst Country Club. RGB paid respect to the hierarchical use of the architectural elements instead of plagiarising them, thereby demonstrating the firm's genuine understanding of Thai architecture. RGB also made forays into the industrial field, a good example being Yamaha Sports (Thailand) Factory. By creating a 'factory friendly' design RGB showed that factories need not look 'industrial'. In corporate architecture the ultimate must rest with RGB's Obayashi Building, Diethelm Tower, and Alma Link Building. Despite the size of the latter, RGB was 'public minded' in this case, 'street friendly'. By setting the Alma Link Building back a little from the street, an open lawn is created in front while existing big trees are allowed to grow through the main entrance concrete canopy.
