Anatomy of a Building is a meditation on the architecture of the Royal College of Physicians, focusing particularly on its current home, a Grade I listed building designed by Sir Denys Lasdun. This book is written in the centenary year of Lasdun's birth, exactly 50 years after the opening of the building in 1964.
