The Library - James W.P. Campbell, Will Pryce
Ambitious and wide-ranging, this is the first single volume to tell the story of the library as a distinct building type, all around the world and from the beginnings of writing to the present day. From their designs for the libraries of ancient Rome to those of the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, architects have sought to outdo each other by producing ever more spectacular settings.The author and photographer have travelled the globe, documenting some eighty libraries. In its highest form the library is a total work of art, combining painting, sculpture, furniture and architecture.
Will Pryce is one of the world's leading photographers of interiors and architecture. Architectural historian James Campbell contributes an authoritative and highly readable account. Arresting and technically flawless, his photographs are both lucid and deeply atmospheric.
