John Ruskin and the Fabric of Architecture - Chatterjee, Anuradha (Architectural author and theorist, Australia)

Through the lenses of dress studies, gender and visual studies, this volume assembles Ruskin's theory of surface architecture, or the "wall veil." This book positions Ruskin as having proposed an unorthodox definition of architecture as surface, highlighting his major contribution and an important moment in the history of architectural modernity.
