This book is an account of his life and work. It describes his multiple achievements as architect, founder of the Royal Incorporation of Architects of Scotland, and creator of the Edinburgh College of Art. Arguing that Victorian design involved far more than the reproduction of historical styles, the author describes Anderson's campaign against an over-emphasis on visual and picturesque values and his promotion of an authentic national style.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49562639761681,"sku":"GOR003916465","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0748602526.jpg?v=1751010444"},{"product_id":"greek-thomson-book-sam-mckinstry-9780748604807","title":"Greek' Thomson","description":"Written by a team of architectural commentators and historians this book covers the full range of Alexander \"Greek\" Thomson's architectural talents.
