In 1982, more than 400 years after she mysteriously sank off the English coastline, Henry VIII's great warship "Mary Rose" was raised to the surface. The ship, extraordinarily intact, was towed to a dry dock at Portsmouth, where she lies today. In January 1991, the architect Christopher Alexander was commissioned by the Mary Rose Trust to design a museum to house this national treasure. This book explains Alexander's vision of a permanent home for the "Mary Rose", ranging from the first inception of its design to finished models and drawings. To Alexander, the great ship is a touchstone for the architecture of the future.
