Modelling the Metropolis - Matthew Wells

Matthew Wells presents his book 'Modelling the Metropolis'. Based on extensive research in archives, museums and period publications 'Modelling the Metropolis' addresses not just architectural models but also an eclectic range of images and objects - technical products, sculptures, diagrams, engravings, maps, photographs - sketching the politics and aesthetics of 19th-century architecture in London.
