Reviews
"The excellent introduction by John Macarthur and Mathew Aitchison . . . contextualizes the manuscript with as much erudition as insight."-- The Architectural Review, "The third [part of the book] collects Pevsner's attempts to apply picturesque principles to modernist architecture, and the first is a brilliant, hauntingly illustrated photo-essay on a select series of streets, squares, and quadrangles in Oxford and London."-- Icon Magazine,  "The three quite distinct parts of the revealed book show Pevsner as guide, historian, and critic ... the cinematic passage of the first part's pictures are a treat in themselves."-- The Architect's Journal, "A detailed and dense reminder of Pevsner's genius, wrapped up with some beautiful images of bygone Britain."-- Monocle Magazine, "The three quite distinct parts of the revealed book show Pevsner as guide, historian, and critic ... the cinematic passage of the first part's pictures are a treat in themselves."-- The Architect's Journal, "The third [part of the book] collects Pevsner's attempts to apply picturesque principles to modernist architecture, and the first is a brilliant, hauntingly illustrated photo-essay on a select series of streets, squares, and quadrangles in Oxford and London."- Icon Magazine, "A fascinating collection of thoughts by one of the twentieth century's heroes of architectural thinking."- Urban Design, "The excellent introduction by John Macarthur and Mathew Aitchison . . . contextualizes the manuscript with as much erudition as insight."- The Architectural Review, "The three quite distinct parts of the revealed book show Pevsner as guide, historian, and critic ... the cinematic passage of the first part's pictures are a treat in themselves."- The Architect's Journal,  "The third [part of the book] collects Pevsner's attempts to apply picturesque principles to modernist architecture, and the first is a brilliant, hauntingly illustrated photo-essay on a select series of streets, squares, and quadrangles in Oxford and London."-- Icon Magazine, "A detailed and dense reminder of Pevsner's genius, wrapped up with some beautiful images of bygone Britain."- Monocle Magazine, "A fascinating collection of thoughts by one of the twentieth century's heroes of architectural thinking."-- Urban Design

Synopsis
"If the whole of a town is in the end not visually pleasing, the town is not worth having." -Sir Nikolaus Pevsner Pevsner's Townscape presents a previously unpublished work by Sir Nikolaus Pevsner (1902-1983), one of the twentieth-century's most widely read scholars of art and architectural history. Begun in the mid-1940s, Pevsner's unfinished manuscript is something of an anomaly in his vast oeuvre of writings in so far as it sought to complement the body of thought emerging in postwar Britain that was concerned with urban design, generally referred to as "Townscape." As assembled and annotated here, Pevsner's Townscape: On Visual Planning and the Picturesque comprises three parts. The first part analyzes English planning tradition before 1800. The second surveys English planning theory or, by Pevsner's lights, the theory of the picturesque. The third part is essentially a meditation on how this tradition and this theory shaped architecture and urban planning in England in the nineteenth century and, potentially, the twentieth as well. The work as a whole is a surprisingly fresh plea for a visual approach to urban design and common sense in architecture, one that sought to incorporate and mediate, rather than idealize and exclude.

    Great experience! The book was new still in film. Very carefully packaged in bubble wrap so it came without any damage.
