Re-forming Britain

Meer over het boek

Focusing on British architectural modernism from the late 1920s, this study explores how architects aimed to establish modernism as the prevailing ideology in Britain. It documents the emergence of architectural modernism between the wars and highlights the collaboration between modernist architects and progressives across various fields. Through 'narratives of modernity,' encompassing both realized and unrealized projects, the author illustrates a concerted effort to persuade the nation to embrace modernist ideals.
