This large-format volume provides a representative overview of Budapest’s high-quality architecture, and documents the lavish details of Budapest buildings, such as gates, fences, railings, windows. The book is divided into six sections, covering wrought-iron, cast-iron, carved wood, architectural ceramics, window design and stained glass. Each section is written by a specialist in their field, but the texts have been framed with the average reader in mind. The volume contains a handy glossary of some technical terms, plus an index by street name of the buildings appearing in the different sections of the book.
