A history of illuminated manuscripts

Explores the power of abandoned architecture, capturing the awe-inspiring drama of lost and forgotten, as well as reimagined and transformed structures across the globe. From Victorian gas holders, railway stations and factories, to World War Il flak towers and bunkers, from Gothic churches, as well as Modernist and Brutalist masterpieces, this book demonstrates that transforming our built heritage has the power to change lives, communities, neighbourhoods and cities the world over.
