Explores the Irish architectural tradition from its beginnings in remote prehistory, through the Celtic and Medieval era to the complex Renaissance and modern world. In presenting the common buildings (plain houses, churches, mills, etc.) as types rather than as isolated phenomena, it reastes a framework for discussing Irish country architecture as something whish is both local to Ireland and yet firmly located within the mainstream of European culture. An excellent guide to buildings of the Irish countryside as well as a sourcebook for architects.
