Description
Illustrated with over 300 works selected from the drawings Gordon Cullen made during his lifetime, this anthology documents his influential career as an Urban Theorist, artist and illustrator from 1930 to 1990. The majority of his drawings have never been published before except in professional reports, and this book contains numerous drawings executed for the pleasure of observation as well as the product of his many consultancies. With the assistance of family and friends, the author charts his life and work, comments on his contribution to 20th-century urban design, examines his graphic techniques and their application and influence, and explores his attitude to the symbolism of objects in the environment.
