Description
A collection of essays honouring the enigmatic architectural historian Robin Middleton. It is divided into five sections focusing on different aspects of fragments in architecture. The essays examine how fragments were used historically, from ruins in antiquity to modernist architects combining fragments into new wholes. They also analyze specific architects like John Soane who incorporated fragments into their designs. The book provides insights into Middleton’s academic interests such as the role of fragments in Gothic architecture and landscape. A photographic portrait of Middleton’s incredible home in New York is also included.
