Architectural monograph documenting the redevelopment proposal for Paternoster Square in the City of London near St Paul's Cathedral. Issued as Architectural Design Profile No 97, the volume examines the late twentieth century revival of classical architecture in Britain and presents the Paternoster Square scheme as a major example of the movement's urban ambitions. Essays discuss the historical development of the site, the urban form of the square, and the role of classical design principles in contemporary architecture. The book includes architectural proposals and projects by leading figures associated with the classical revival including Terry Farrell, Robert Adam, Demetri Porphyrios, Allan Greenberg, John Simpson, Hammond Beeby and Babka, and Quinlan Terry. Also includes interviews and commentary from Architectural Design magazine discussing the broader debate over modernism and the reintroduction of classical forms into late twentieth century architectural practice.
