- This 244-page book (75,000 words, 90 illustrations) explores the analogy between architecture and history, fiction and landscape, tracing it to 18th-century empirical investigations of subjective experience and the natural world. It argues that new art forms � the picturesque landscape, analytical history and English novel � produced a new design practice. Drawing on extensive primary research over six years, this practice is examined through three case studies from different centuries: William Kent�s Norfolk estates, John Soane�s Lincoln�s Inn Fields and Denys Lasdun�s University of East Anglia. It concludes that these projects� lyrical environmentalism is especially relevant for practice today.
