It includes short biographies of major architects as well as architectural terms.Philip Wilkinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04893714514416441572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4228081722487474323.post-65167667507159905282011-10-22T07:12:45.576+01:002011-10-22T07:12:45.576+01:00Philip, this looks fabulous.

I would so loved to have been at that festival.<br />I think I need to get myself a dictionary of architectural terms.

With a bit of luck, they'll have it again next year, when perhaps you can have a look. The Eric Gill event was good – the Cribbs' book on Gill is worth seeking out if you've not seen it. It has lots of interesting illustrations of Gill's work in a variety of fields (less on the typography than on all the other areas in which he worked).Philip Wilkinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04893714514416441572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4228081722487474323.post-12749588412220767442011-10-21T16:32:53.581+01:002011-10-21T16:32:53.581+01:00I've never come across a spiegeltent before an...I've never come across a spiegeltent before and it looks amazing. When I first saw your photo I thought it was the elaborate interior of a restaurant! <br /><br />I didn't make it to any of the Festival events this year, although the Eric Gill one sounded interesting and I had thought about going to this, but I just plain forgot about it.The Vintage Knitterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03479653990888198151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4228081722487474323.post-17530287383754306862011-10-21T15:14:53.017+01:002011-10-21T15:14:53.017+01:00Thank you very much.
