About This Item
Wells Coates is now seen as a seminal figure in the modern movement in architecture in Britain. His blocks of flats, his shop and office designs, houses, interiors, radios, and other industrial designs, were evidence of his commitment to a functional aesthetic and of his refusal to compromise his own high standards. Wells Coates's daughter Laura Cohn has written this book to try to illustrate the conflicts, qualities and disappointments of an extraordinary man. 240 pages : illustrations ; 24 cm. First edition, first printing. Blue cloth boards, unclipped dust jacket (now in a removable protective sleeve). Slight shelf wear to edges, small closed tear to edge of back cover, no inscriptions. Photographs available on request. All books dispatched same or next working day in robust packaging.
