Trama

Offers for the first time an overall account of Modern Architecture in the decade after World War II. The period saw the establishment of Modern Architecture in Europe and Britain's leading role at the heart of the debate on Modern Architecture and the architectural challenges of post-war reconstruction. It will be of value to those teaching courses on architectural and urban history and all those with an interest in Modernism and the visual arts generally.




Note Editore

Building the Post-war World examines the way in which World War II and the ten years of reconstruction that followed saw the establishment of modern architecture in Britain. It charts the opportunities created by post-war rebuilding showing how the spirit of innovation and experimentation necessary to winning the war found applications in reconstruction. Above all it shows how hopes for a new and better world became linked to the fortunes of new architecture.
