Synopsis "english eccentric interiors"

the pitch will be authoritative with a lively, contemporary touch. the structure of the book lends itself easily to this approach, with its self-contained projects (rather than a continuous narrative). introduction: outlines the parameters of the book, and touches on topics such as: - perceptions of englishness - connections between eccentricity and englishness - functionalism versus eccentricity - employing the bizarre and outlandish purely for enjoyments sake versus using it to convey a hidden agenda - historical and regional characteristics determining motive and self-expression. ch. 1: contemporary passions. examples include butterfly house (surrey), millers residence (london) ch. 2: ancient oddities. examples include treasurers house (yorkshire), lodge park (gloucestershire) ch. 3: eccentric entertainment. examples include camden palace (london), temple of convenience bar (manchester) ch. 4: displays of madness. examples include arlington court (devon), soane museum (london) ch. 5: miscellany. examples include contemporary eccentric uses of the garden shed (as a chapel, with a 50s style interior etc. etc.)
