Description
This illustrated architectural study examines the work and design philosophy of Sir Herbert Baker (1862–1946), one of the most influential architects in South African architectural history. Covering the period from 1892 to 1913, it explores Baker’s architectural practice in South Africa and the development of a style that combined English Arts and Crafts influences, Cape Dutch vernacular architecture and classical elements. The book discusses buildings associated with Baker’s career, including residences, churches and major public structures, supported by photographs, architectural drawings and historical research. It is a valuable reference for readers interested in South African architecture, colonial-era buildings and the history of the country’s built environment.
