Illustrated with maps, archive photographs and paintings, as well as some original sketches, ‘œShaping London” sees architect and urban planner Sir Terry Farrell create connections between London’™s past, present, and future.In this book Farrell charts how London’™s messy and complex architectural shape has evolved over time from a series of layers- natural and man-made. It gives an account that stretches from the banks of the Thames to Richmond and Kew to London Docklands and the heavily industrialised Thames Estuary, whilst also looking at well-known landmarks and sights.’œShaping London” suggests a way of observing and learning from London today that are key to understanding how the capital might grow and change in the future.
