Product Details
ISBN: 9781739731458
Author: ASLET, CLIVE
King Charles III's affection for architecture is well-known, but the extent of his engagement has never been fully presented to the public. This is the first book to bring together the many threads of his architectural journey, from the famous 'carbuncle' speech at Hampton Court in 1984 to his accession to the throne.
Key Highlights of His Architectural Contributions:
- Creation of model settlements, such as Poundbury, through the Duchy of Cornwall.
- Transformation of Dumfries House in East Ayrshire into a beacon of social regeneration.
- Educational initiatives that have profoundly changed lives.
The book explores four decades of the King's commitment to architecture, a period that coincides with Clive Aslet's career as a journalist. Aslet has closely followed this story, often writing about it, including during his 13 years as editor of Country Life.
King Charles III: 40 Years of Architecture is based on new research and includes interviews with architects, critics, advisors, and academics who collaborated with the (then) Prince of Wales on his far-reaching initiatives.
