| وصف الكتاب | Inspired by his passionate interest in Irelands architectural heritage and its preservation, in 2012 writer Robert OByrne establishedThe Irish Aesthete, a blog and social media phenomenon dedicated to sharing and showcasing the treasures of Irelands built environment. Ever since, architects, designers, decorators, historians and indeed those who are simply interested in the unique history of our Islands architecture have flocked from around the world toThe Irish Aesthetefor insight, fascination and delight.The Irish Aesthete: Buildings of Ireland, Lost and Foundwas born from OByrnes tireless work charting the hidden glories of Irelands buildings. In this true everymans guide, Robert has set out to highlight these landmarks, and to demonstrate how readers young and old can enjoy them. Each photograph in this book was taken by the author using nothing but a simple phone camera, showing readers that they too can engage with the past in vibrant new ways. Roberts collection of photographs, covering everything from grand country houses to ancient monasteries, now runs to over 100,000 images and covers all 32 counties in Ireland. This new volume contains some 150 from his own selection of his best work with each photograph accompanied by illuminating descriptions and anecdotes. A poignant cri de coeur for the neglected treasures of our architectural heritage. OByrnes admiration, and even love, for these fading glories of our built environment is infectious. He catalyses within the reader an increased appreciation and heightened sense of observation of these fine old buildings. His passion is evident within every word of prose and well-posed photograph.Manchn Magan |
