{"product_id":"a-life-in-education-and-catherine-burke-9780754679592","title":"A Life in Education and Architecture: Mary Beaumont Medd","description":"This book provides a detailed exploration of the relationships between individual architects, educators, artists and designers that laid the foundation and shaped the approach to designing new school buildings in post-war Britain. It explores the life and work of Mary Medd (née Crowley) (1907-2005) who was alongside her husband and professional partner, David Medd, one of the most important modernist architects of the 20th century. Mary Medd devoted the major part of her career to the design of school buildings and was pioneering in this respect, drawing much inspiration from Scandinavian architecture, arts and design. More than a biography, the book draws attention to the significance of relationships and networks of friendships built up over these years among individuals with a common view of the child in educational settings.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Catherine Burke\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0754679594\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780754679592\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/14\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 296\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Catherine Burke","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48658915623167,"sku":"9780754679592","price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_612f11d4-061c-45f0-8070-479082219365.jpg?v=1781198960","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-life-in-education-and-catherine-burke-9780754679592","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
