Reviews
"Michael Dennis writes clearly, and his well informed text is copiously illustrated with period drawings beautifully reproduced .... Parallel to the study of houses is a history of Parisian squares, showing how they too became less dense and more open, being gradually transformed from outdoor rooms to nodes in a traffic system. All this history is illuminating, and many architects will find the book worth reading for it alone." - Peter Blundell Jones, Architects Journal

Synopsis
Court & Garden explores the social, psychological, and especially the formal transformations that led architects to trade the city of public space for the city of private icons., Court & Garden explores the social, psychological, and especially the formal transformations that led architects to trade the city of public space for the city of private icons. This detailed history of the French hotel- an aristocratic town house developed largely in Paris between 1550 and 1800 - reveals the hotel to be a sophisticated instrument of urbanism that both chronicles the demise of the public realm and offers architectural techniques for reconstructing a spatially rich city. Michael Dennis is a practicing architect. He has taught and lectured widely, and was the 1986 Thomas Jefferson Professor of Architecture at the University of Virginia. A Graham Foundation Book.
