The Architecture of Sir Edwin Lutyens Volume 2: Gardens, Delhi, Washington

"In an era dominated by traditionalism on one hand and the emergence of modernity on the other, Lutyens’ work serves as a compelling testament to the brilliance of harmonizing these contrasting approaches."
"New York’s Museum of Modern Art even went so far as to assemble an exhibition of Lutyens’s work in 1978, and London’s Hayward Gallery followed suit three years later. ACC’s first reprint of the series proved timely."
"Few architects have been as lavishly published as Edwin Lutyens. Despite the essentially nostalgic nature of his buildings, Lutyens was a very modern architect when it came to marketing, a canny self-publicist acutely aware of the power of books and magazines in establishing his reputation."
"Now, through a collaboration between the ICAA and ACC Art Books, the Lutyens Memorial Volumes are newly available to an audience that’s eagerly awaited their return. With a trove of detailed drawings, photographs, and essays by Arthur Stanley George Butler and Lutyens biographer Christopher Hussey, the books—one chronicling Lutyen’s country houses; another his gardens and renowned projects like the Viceroy’s Palace in New Delhi; and the third, released this spring, on his public buildings and designs for Liverpool Cathedral—are faithful recreations of their originals, offering a window into their namesake’s genius."
“Before the first edition was released in 2023, ICAA and ACC Art Books embarked on years of meticulous effort. Country Life provided high-resolution scans of their original glass plate images and the ICAA and ACC combed through these to match them with the images in the Memorial Series.”
“Now, with the Lutyens Memorial Volumes available once again, Lutyens admirers and new students alike have direct access to understanding the nuances of his approach.”
