Nevertheless, there is insufficient visual documentation and analysis of his work. \u003ci\u003eNicholas Hawksmoor: London Churches\u003c\/i\u003e reconsiders his architecture in relation to urbanism. The publication focuses on a series of important London churches the architect designed during the early part of the eighteenth century. The key distinguishing features of these churches are their spires, each designed with different qualities and motifs. While Hawksmoor was inspired by the ancient history of architecture, his work was considered radical and contemporary in its day. Photographer Hélène Binet was specially commissioned to document the various aspects of the seven remaining London churches. Her immaculate black and white photographs demonstrate the beauty of Hawksmoor's architecture with special attention to the variety of scales, sites, interiors, textures, and materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lars Muller Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/14\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783037783498\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 180\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 12.00h x 9.60w x 0.70d","brand":"Nicolas Hawksmoor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52403505594549,"sku":"9783037783498","price":39.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_db3e7df9-cac2-4b6f-8e26-369a20df4cd7.jpg?v=1774969462","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/nicholas-hawksmoor-london-churches-9783037783498","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
