Travel, Space, Architecture (Design and the Built Environment)

First edition, first printing.  346pp, illustrated throughout.  Matte pictorial boards.  8vo.  Volume is neat, clean, bright and tight throughout. From a review on the back of the book: a truely 'remarkable anthology treating the relatively untapped theme of travel and architecture. In so doing it passes from 20th century versions of the aristocratic Grand Tour ... to the altogether more timely anthropo-geographic reflections that comprise a wide range of subjects, from the birth of the panorama in the middle of the 18th century and the analogous forms of the maritime city, to manifestations of travel and mobility in contemporary architectural practices. This radically new and critical overview assembled and carefully edited by Jilly Traganou and Miodrag Mitrasinovic provides a comprehensive way of analysing the global trends and trajectories of contemporary architecture".
