Description
Architectural Tales is a collection of unpredictable stories about people and the buildings they live in by the award-winning architect and writer Dominic Stevens.
Can you fall in love with a building? Can the spirit of the architect haunt a building? Will your ‘perfect house’ really make you happy? The book takes the form of a series of letters from “Alice” to the author, exploring the architect’s responsibility to the users of their buildings.
Tender yet unsentimental, personal yet universal, Architectural Tales is for anyone who is intrigued by the buildings around them and who loves a good story.
“What impresses about these pieces is the marriage of an authoritative architectural eye with a lively imagination.” — David Butler, author
“These are stories that are at once playful and deeply serious – an intriguing and original collection from a writer to watch.” — Kevin Barry, author
