Ireland & the New Architecture 1900-1940 Sean Rothery Lilliput Press ISBN: O 9466 4059 0

The definitive book on Irish architecture up to 1940 deals with the development of Art Deco and the International style in Ireland. With over 200 pages of quality information and excellent illustrations, Rothery details the path of architectural development north and south including not only the well known buildings such as Dublin Airport and the Church of Christ the King in Cork but many regional houses and factories. The book shows that contrary to general assumption Ireland was no architectural backwater with regular visits to Ireland by leading figures such as Walter Gropius and regular visits abroad by the rising generation of young architects.
