Light is the material of Architecture.
Ian Ritchie is one of the UK’s most visionary architects, and remarkable for synthesising multiple creative disciplines to bring the essence of his architectural projects into focus. A poet and artist as well as an architect, Ritchie distills his ideas into verse and pithy aphorisms that probe the complexities of architectural commissions and the art of composition.
In this volume, Ritchie's aphorisms and musings revolve around the topic of light, a fundamental element in the way we perceive both the natural and the built world. They are accompanied by his calligraphic etchings and illustrations of the architecture that emerges from them.
This illuminating blend of poetry and design is a trove of inspiration for anyone seeking to expand their understanding of the creative process, and offers a fresh perspective on the profound interplay between thought, practice, and the radiant world of light.

Beyond chuffed! Fantastic books at ridiculously cheap prices. Beautifully packed too.Yay!
Really interesting books. I have been collecting art books for many years and I now have quite a few from Books About Art. Sensible prices and the opportunity to support a local (to me) independent book shop instead of Amazon
What an unusual andfantastic book. So interesting and beautifully presented and bound. What a wonderful project.
Brilliant book and price

Informative book.
Independent bookshop run by Guy, great books great value prices !
Really impressed with this book store. The prices are very good, my order was delivered quickly, and there’s a brilliant variety of interesting titles to choose from. A smooth, reliable experience from start to finish.
I thought I already knew a great deal about Adge Cutler, but Adge – King of the Wurzels proved me wrong in the best possible way. Packed with fresh stories, fascinating insights, and meticulous detail, it sheds new light on the man behind the music. The writing is engaging and highly readable—I repeatedly found myself reading far longer than I had intended.
Entertaining, informative, and genuinely difficult to put down, this is a must-read for any Wurzels fan. Although I'm Welsh rather than West Country, Adge's appeal reaches far beyond Somerset. His talent, character, and legacy transcend regional boundaries, and this book captures them brilliantly.
Great communication, and book exactly as described
I wasn’t aware these books existed until I came across your web site,both great especially the book about the Colston Hall
Quality and speed of delivery excellent
Always very prompt service, well-packed delivery, a great place to get good books, including those I never knew I wanted 😄, at a discounted price!
Amazing compilation of the great fanzine Jamming! Edited by Tony Fletcher. Well worth buying!
A favourite artist so it was a pleasure to see such good reproductions and the working drawings leading up to the final painting. The individual essays were interesting and free of jargon
Delivered on time, books in excellent condition
