The World in One School" explores the global influence of Britain's oldest university school of architecture in both word and image. The home of the "Liverpool Manner" style--developed under the leadership of Sir Charles Reilly and honed by architects like Herbert Rowse and Charles Dod--the Liverpool School of Architecture hosted students from all corners of the world and sent its graduates to placements in international practice. Tracing the School's history--from its origins through the influence of America in the interwar years to a strong Modernist presence influenced by Edwin Maxwell Fry's and George Checkley's inspirations, this remarkable story of a School with five Royal Gold Medalists for architecture is a fascinating study of the transatlantic trends that shape education and practice in architecture and design.
