FRS Yorke by Melvin Jeremy
FRS Yorke was an influential architect in the early part of this century and his work is still referred to and seen as forward--thinking today. No other book has been written on Yorke, despite some titles being written about the mega--firm YRM, of which he was the founding member.
"..Melvina s book is an essential contribution to the historiography of that period..." (Building Design, 17 April 2003) "...entertaining account..." (Country Life, 24 April 2003) "...Wiley is on good form..." (Architects Journal, 22 May 2003) "...refreshing and perceptiveA...great anecdotes...a thought--provoking volume..." (RIBA Journal, June 2003) "...nicely produced study..." (Architectural Review, July 2003) "...a figure who deserves an analytical, thoroughly researched book and, on this level, Melvin doesn't disappoint..." (Blueprint, July 2003) "...The first book written about FRS Yorke provides some illuminating insights into the father of English modernism..." (ICON, July/August 2003) "...an excellent book -- we all owe Yorke a great debt for bringing English architecture out of ita s narrow confines..." (Architects Journal, Dec 03)
