Book synopsis

The Architecture of Additions examines the impact of new building on important existing architecture-from masterly succession at St Peter's Church in Rome to Penn Central's proposal for Grand Central Terminal to the Louvre Pyramid and the Studio National at Le Fresnoy, with emphasis on the contributions of modernism and the problems and possibilities of its late-twentieth-century successors. Paul Spencer Byard, an architect and lawyer, looks at more than sixty additions, built and unbuilt, for criteria to help protect the public interest in great buildings. The Architecture of Additions will help architects work successfully with significant buildings and, as importantly, will help interested private and public persons understand architecture.
