揭示塑造十八世纪英国和爱尔兰建筑外观的材料和工艺。

本书揭示了十八世纪建筑生产中那些被忽视却至关重要的材料实践。本书以英格兰和爱尔兰的建筑为中心，探讨了定义城市和地区独特特征的饰面材料。

《建筑与技艺》聚焦于建筑的最后阶段——石材、灰泥和木材的外立面和室内装饰，结合档案研究和建筑保护的洞见，揭示了这些结构背后隐藏的技艺。本书探索了工匠的生活，揭示了指导他们工作的不成文标准，并论证了材料和工艺在塑造十八世纪建筑意义方面的作用。

本书以一批鲜为人知的工匠为特色，并以全新的视角审视查茨沃斯庄园、剑桥参议院大厦和都柏林议会大厦等标志性建筑，并介绍了大量从未发表过的档案资料，揭示了那个时代最经久不衰的建筑背后错综复杂的工艺和人物。

Revealing the materials and craftsmanship that shaped the look of eighteenth-century architecture in Britain and Ireland

This book uncovers the overlooked material practices that were crucial to architectural production in the eighteenth century. Centred on the architecture of England and Ireland, it examines the facing materials that define the distinctive character of cities and regions.

Focusing on the final stages of construction—the external façade and interior finishes in stone, plaster, and wood—Architecture and Artifice combines archival research with insights from architectural conservation to reveal the hidden techniques behind these structures. It explores the lives of craftsmen, uncovering the unwritten standards that guided their work and argues for the agency of materials and craft in shaping the meanings of eighteenth-century buildings.

Featuring a cast of lesser-known craftsmen alongside new perspectives on iconic structures such as Chatsworth, the Cambridge Senate House, and Dublin’s Parliament House, the book introduces a wealth of previously unpublished archival material uncovering the intricate processes and people behind the era’s most enduring buildings.
