During the second half of the eighteenth century British architecture moved away from the dominant school of classicism in favour of a more creative freedom of expression. At the forefront of this change were architect brothers Robert and James Adam. Kondo’s work places them within the context of eighteenth-century intellectual thought.
'offers a new interpretation of the Adam brothers as revolutionary students and masters of Enlightenment thought in the field of architecture ... This work is particularly valuable for those interested in philosophical and aesthetic theory during the second half of the eighteenth century.' Eighteenth-Century Scotland 'performs a useful service in explaining the intellectual and cultural context in which the Adam brothers moved' English Historical Review
