About This Book

A concise portrait of an architect-scientist offering impressions rather than a full chronology, tracing family background and Oxford years, surveying his scientific and mathematical investigations and early inventions, and explaining how scholarship informed his architectural practice. It examines town-planning proposals, the design and rebuilding of the great cathedral and numerous city churches, and surveys royal and domestic commissions. Final chapters assess professional methods, scholarly interests, and later years, while appendices provide a chronology, technical notes, and commentary on portraits.
