The Story of Buildings short-listed for this year's School Library Association Information Book Award
1 May 2015

Congratulations to Patrick Dillon whose The Story of Buildings is one of three short-listed books in the 12-16 year old age group for this year’s School Library Association Information Book Award. The judges commented:

This is a fascinating history of architecture which focuses not on architectural styles or individual buildings - although there is plenty of information about these - but on buildings in the context of their historical and geographical surroundings. Each section flows into the next in a way that combines chronological and thematic approaches. The illustrations are rich and detailed and clever use of fold-outs helps to emphasise the scale and complexity of the buildings featured, showing both the full building and it’s interior and details.

The prize will be awarded in November
