Pretty Little Liars 01

"The idea of the wall-veil is foremost in Ruskin’s vison of architecture, yet remains – intentionally – mysterious. This concentrated study re–veals its latent, layered meanings, unpicking Ruskin’s dress-codes in their various aspects of soul, body, the femininity of architecture, and so forth. Close intra-textual and inter-textual readings skilfully place these notions in the context, both of Ruskin’s own multi-faceted volumes, and of other works of inspiration and commentary – notably the philosophy of clothes of Thomas Carlyle’s Sartor Resartus"
Stephen Kite, Professor, Welsh School of Architecture, Cardiff University, Wales, UK 
"What a terrific book! It is of such high quality, both text and stunning illustrations. It is a fascinating Ruskinian architectural journey through France and Italy. The book gives us new eyes to see old architecture that we are so familiar with, yet do not see! And I like the fact that in the last chapter, the author brings it up to date with Ruskin and modern architecture."
Cynthia Gamble, Honorary Research Fellow, University of Exeter; Author of Proust as Interpreter of Ruskin: The Seven Lamps of Translation; and Former Chairman of the Ruskin Society.　　
"John Ruskin and the Fabric of Architecture insightfully revisits the Ruskin’s writings on architecture to demonstrate his vision of walls as surface. By engaging in a novel multidisciplinary approach at the intersection of surface, gender and dress studies, Anuradha Chatterjee revises long held assumptions about Ruskin’s architectural theories and their impact on nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Her richly illustrated monograph will be of enduring interest for Ruskin scholars, architectural historians and Victorianists."

Bénédicte Coste, University of Burgundy, France
"Writing about Ruskin is always over-shadowed by his demands for truth in art and his own manifest contradictions and prolixity. How then to understand the enduring value of his work without deadening it in explanation? Anuradha Chatterjee can guide us in this. Her subtle grasp of Ruskin’s formal values comes as much from her own architectural intuition as from her ability to dive in and out of Ruskin’s oeuvre and the sea of secondary literature. Chatterjee has a real feeling for the thickness that gender, semantics and the will to adorn give to the material facts of the building’s skin. There are many truths to be had from Ruskin, and this book shows us one of these."

John Macarthur, Professor and Director of the research centre for Architecture, Theory, Criticism and History, University of Queensland　
"The textual delicacy of Anuradha Chatterjee’s prose-traces is as sublime as the finest embroidered tissue. Applied to the material substance of architecture’s built form and function, her entwined gauze of words constructs a beguiling écriture féminine that articulates in triumphant whisper the dextrous joy of Ruskin’s nature and craft."

Professor Catherine Harper, Deputy Vice-Chancellor, University of Chichester, UK; Editor-in-Chief of　Textile: Cloth & Culture (Routledge).
"John Ruskin and the Fabric of Architecture is significant contribution to a long tradition of work on Ruskin’s architectural writings….Anyone tempted to undertake a European tour of Ruskinian architecture should take this book along: it would be immensely rewarding to refer to her readings in situ…This work is lively in its intellectual ambitions, reaching out beyond architecture and making a case for the broader significance of Ruskin’s architectonics, its vital interplay with all other aspects of his writings, and with a range of nineteenth-century contexts."　

Mark Frost, University of Portsmouth, The Companion 2018
"2019 marks the bicentenary of John Ruskin’s birth. John Ruskin and the Fabric of Architecture, a Routledge publication (2018), authored by architectural historian Anuradha Chatterjee is timely and succeeds in firmly resurrecting Ruskin as relevant and his thought processes as timeless and thus merit deeper engagement.
This 144 pages book is dense, captivating, intriguing, illuminating and inciting. It is rigorously researched, referenced and cross referenced and yet presents a narrative that is focussed on a chosen aspect – that of façade or as Ruskin preferred ‘surface’ as architecture."
Poonam Verma Mascarenhas, practicing architect, building conservationist, researcher and writer at herGoa based award winning studio Archinova_Environs.
"Ruskin and the Fabric of Architecture provides innovative ways to think about the many connections of architecture to textile and gender and is of interest to those studying the aesthetic influences in the nineteenth century and beyond. It is also accessible for those without extensive architectural knowledge to enjoy the Ruskinian connections of art and architecture."

Ann Gagné, Pre-Raphaelite Studies
"John Ruskin and the Fabric of Architecture is a masterful defense of the enduring value of Ruskin’s theories in contemporary architectural discourse, elucidating the relationship between Ruskin’s theories and dress, gender, science, and visual studies, one which testifies to the enduring relevance of Ruskinian thought in bracingly fresh and illuminating ways."
T. B. Kennedy, architectural historian, preservationist, and writer
