A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The preparing of this short memoir has been in. spired by the desire to set before the younger members of the Architectural profession and particularly the draughtsmen in offices, something of the personality of a very great man. It must remain for some other pen than nune to write a complete analytic life of Charles F. McK im. Since his death, new schools of Architecture have grown up which, inspired perhaps by the restless spirit of the age in which we live, seem like the Athenians of old, to be eagerly striving after some new thing With this spirit McK im, and the wonderful group of men with whom he both worked and played, could have but little sympathy He stood for a national architecture, inspired by beauty and built upon the solid foundations of law, order and tra dition. It is the abiding quality of the principles in accordance with which he lived and worked and died that I have tried to make plain. In order to do this, I have had to call upon his friends, his family and above all upon his only surviving partner for cooperation and help.
