Note It is well known that, throughout history, royalty have built castles, fortresses and entire cities to show their power. However, less consideration has been given to individual monarchs who pursued an interest in architecture and in some cases acted as architects. Recent research on Gustav III (1746-1792) has shown that he was in fact the architect for a number of important building projects. His relative George III of England (1760-1820) also had a great interest in architecture, and his drawings and sketches have been preserved. In this richly illustrated book, a number of scholars provide additional examples and perspectives on the importance of monarchs for architecture and architecture policy
Att furstar i alla tider byggt slott, befästningar och hela städer är välkänt. Enskilda kungligheters arkitekturintresse och i vissa fall utövande som arkitekter har däremot varit mindre undersökt. I denna rikt illustrerade bok bidrar flera forskare med exempel och perspektiv på europeiska kungligheters betydelse för arkitekturen och arkitekturpolitiken. Boken utkommer endast på engelska.[Bokinfo]
