When did the appearance of libraries and prisons become so important? What does the way we arrange our city centers say about us? Can architecture really make a difference to our quality of life? In this beautifully illustrated book, David Dimbleby tells the dramatic and heroic story of Britains architecturethe extraordinary buildings that define a nation and which grew out of the experiences and beliefs of the British people.
