Description

The first edition of this work, designed and produced by Pentagram. Written and edited by David Gibbs. A beautiful work exploring the architectural history of the Lloyd's building, home of the insurance institution Lloyd's of London. Published in 1986, when the building received Grade I listing after twenty-five years of completion.
A leading example of radical Bowellism architecture, which places services for the building to the exterior to maximise space in the interior, it is highly regarded as one of the key buildings of modern epoch.
