Sir George Oatley

Sarah Whittingham

4.9/5 (25825 ratings)

Description:Sir George Oatley (1863-1950) was Bristol's most significant twentieth-century architect. His buildings - including banks, offices, factories, churches, shops and houses - transformed the face of the city. His greatest works were designed for Bristol University, and its Wills Memorial Building of 1925 was the last great Gothic secular building to be built in Britain. Sarah Whittingham tells the story of Oatley's fascinating life, from his poor childhood on the Isle of Wight, to running the most successful architectural practice in Bristol. Throughout the tale runs the thread of Oatley's Nonconformism, which instilled in him incredible generosity and immense modesty, but also provided him with many Nonconformist clients, most notably the Wills family of tobacco fame. This is the first book to be written about Oatley, and is the result of over ten years' research, including the study of thousands of previously unexamined letters and drawings. It includes a catalogue of works that vastly increases knowledge of the wide range of buildings that Oatley designed during his long career. Buildings discussed include well-known ones, such as Bristol Homoeopathic Hospital, the H H Wills Physics Laboratory, and St Monica Home of Rest, as well as less familiar designs, including mental asylums, domestic works and commercial buildings. Sarah Whittingham's meticulously researched, wide-ranging and comprehensively illustrated book enables a reassessment of Oatley's work that will re-establish his reputation as one of the most important architects of his time.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
