"British architect Nicholas Hawksmoor (approx. 1661-1736) is recognized
as one of the major contributors to the traditions of British and
European architectural culture. Nevertheless, there is insufficient
visual documentation and analysis of his work. ""Nicholas Hawksmoor:
London Churches"" reconsiders his architecture in relation to urbanism.
The publication focuses on a series of important London churches the
architect designed during the early part of the eighteenth century. The
key distinguishing features of these churches are their spires, each
designed with different qualities and motifs. While Hawksmoor was
inspired by the ancient history of architecture, his work was considered
radical and contemporary in its day. Photographer Hélène Binet was
specially commissioned to document the various aspects of the seven
remaining London churches. Her immaculate black and white photographs
demonstrate the beauty of Hawksmoor's architecture with special
attention to the variety of scales, sites, interiors, textures, and
materials."
