Scenically and architecturally, Nottingham is one of the most remarkable of English cities. A major commercial centre in the Middle Ages, it subsequently became an important industrial city until well into the twentieth century. Nottingham has more recently been a city in transition, with service industries, apartments, shops, bars and restaurants colonizing the former palaces of industry and generating a wave of new design. This book records more than two decades of regeneration and change, featuring important new projects by Hopkins Architects, Foster and Partners, Gustafson Porter, Marsh & Grochowski, Benson & Forsyth and Caruso St John, among others.
Features over sixty major projects, focusing on a wide range of building types as well as the key districts of the city
Engagingly written and lavishly illustrated throughout
