The Lloyds Building: 0000 (Architecture in Detail)
£39.40
This illustrated volume covers one of the best-known examples of High-Tech architecture: the Lloyds building in London. Built between 1979 and 1986, it epitomizes the concern of its architect, Richard Rogers, with total flexibility and overt technical imagery.

An icon of modern architecture, the building has become a tourist attraction as well as an architectural landmark.
