内容説明

The buildings erected in London's Docklands since the early 1980s comprise one of the largest concentrations of late 20th-century architecture and architectural styles to be seen anywhere in the world. They range from the momumental tower at Canary Wharf, at 824ft the tallest building in Britain, which for many people symbolizes the modern Docklands, to small-scale traditional-style housing developments harking back to Georgian and Victorian exemplars. Many of these buildings and developments were included in the survey of London's two-volume study of "Poplar, Blackwall and the Isle of Dogs", which Athlone published for the Royal Commission on the Historical Monuments in 1994. Continuing interest in the regeneration of the Docklands has persuaded the Royal Commission to re-issue the Survey's text dealing with the modern buildings in the area in a new format. For this book, the original text has been reorganized and, where necessary, brought up to date - some of the buildings included were not in existence when the Survey went to press in 1994. The illustrations have been revised and expanded.
