Roger Fitzgerald has traversed Britain painting as wide a range of buildings as possible. His watercolours illustrate the visual variety in the buildings throughout Britain, both ancient and modern. The book explores the uses of buildings from monastries to coal mines, museums to lighthouses, and looks at how they interact with their surroundings. Architecture of all shapes and forms is displayed in the study of individual buildings, which shows the changing styles as they occur around Britain. The final part of the book examines different building materials, detail and decoration. Also discussed is the use of timber, thatch, stone and brick, as well as more contemporary glass and concrete.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49525311406353,"sku":"GOR001734882","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51359633244433,"sku":"GOR004430757","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52561145364753,"sku":"GOR010903076","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0747521484.jpg?v=1751075507"},{"product_id":"buildings-of-london-book-roger-fitzgerald-9781908967732","title":"Buildings of London","description":"Roger Fitzgerald has practiced as an architect in london since he qualified over 30 years ago. He brings an architect's keen eye for detail and construction, and combines this with a fascination for discovering and expressing through paintings what makes well-known places such as Borough Market, Brick Lane or Parliament Square so special to the city. He has a passion for exploring unspoilt and hidden parts of London. His painting style combines colour, texture and collage to capture the essence of places. Frequently, he portrays buildings as an architectural stage-set a permanent, calm and static backdrop to the vibrancy of everyday life. This contrast is exploited, with cool architectural colours offset by vivid warm tones and elements of collage which represent the life and bustle generated by moving people and vehicles. Tickets, menus, maps, books, newspapers and a host of other paraphernalia are incorporated into the images, layering meaning and adding complexity. The images are combined with short and personal comments which make Buildings of London an intriguing and inspiring guide to the architectural delights of the capital. Roger FitzGerald was born in Cambridge, trained in Manchester, and moved to London in 1983 to start his career as an architect. He joined the architectural practice ADP from university and now chairs the practice, which is one of the top 20 firms in the country. Throughout his career as an architect he has enjoyed drawing--whether as a design concept for a new building, or to explore, understand and capture the essence of existing architecture.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49666047672593,"sku":"GOR009465065","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53352358117649,"sku":"GOR012616934","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1908967730.jpg?v=1751441292"},{"product_id":"buildings-of-kent-book-roger-fitzgerald-9781399930888","title":"Buildings of Kent","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51227526267153,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51227526660369,"sku":"GOR014203189","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51527644643601,"sku":"GOR014316647","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1399930885.jpg?v=1751240796"},{"product_id":"buildings-of-new-york-book-roger-fitzgerald-9781908967961","title":"Buildings of New York","description":"Buildings of New York is the second monograph by artist and architect Roger FitzGerald, which follows on from Buildings of London, 2016.

Each image is accompanied by short, personal comments by the artist and this is what makes this book an inspiring guide to New York as well as an ideally priced gift buy. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e FitzGerald's painting style combines colour, texture and collage to capture the essence of places.
