The Architecture of Sir Edwin Lutyens by Asg Butler
Edwin Lutyens died in 1944. As a memorial, three large volumes of his drawings and photographs were published by Country Life. All three volumes will be republished by AC Art Books in 2023, beginning with The Country Houses, featuring his own plans, elevations and copious details of his finest domestic buildings.
"The quality of the reprint is nearly perfect, with a good selection of papers for the three sequential parts of the book: the texts, the drawings, and the black-and-white photographsText and drawings are on matte heavyweight pages, while the photos are on glossy paper. The inks make everything read well; in particular, the drawing reproductions are exquisite." - Archidose
"In an era dominated by traditionalism on one hand and the emergence of modernity on the other, Lutyens’ work serves as a compelling testament to the brilliance of harmonizing these contrasting approaches." - ArchEyes
"This reissued volume on Lutyens’ country houses is a vital resource and spur to further research, writes Jeroen Geurst." - Building Design
"The country houses in Volume 1 represent Lutyens’ best known and arguably most admired projects…Lutyens’ work contained hints of classicism from the off and he revisited his more playful, vernacular work in later years. Sometimes he even reversed the sequence." - Building Design
