Description and Table of Contents
Description
Alexander "Greek" Thomson (1817-75) who lived and worked in Glasgow and was in practice there from 1849 produced a distintive modern architecture based on a fundamentalist classicism that earned him the nickname "Greek". This book offers a visual guide to Thomson's work, featuring both archive photographs of buildings now demolished, drawings and Phil Sayer's specially commissioned photographs of extant works. An introductory biographical essay is followed by sections focusing on each of the main building types - churches, commercial buildings, terraces and tenemants, and villas - each introduced by a short essay. Thomson's decorative designs and furniture are also discussed.
