Somerset: some literary connections
Although the historical county of Somerset is associated in most people's minds with just two dominant figures in English literature, namely Jane Austen and Samuel Taylor Coleridge, there are several other notable writers for whom the county had particular significance.

Art and Craft of the machine - F.L.W
Introduction Like in Wright's explanation (1901), most theoretical works about Architecture influence practices like the Kunsthaus in Graz (2003), to create the basic understanding that architecture depends, the relation between Wright's view about the machine and its use in practices in the 20th Century could have inspired or influenced modern practices in the 21st Century and helped guide modern Architects in mechanical tools and technological advances.
