Krátky popis
Modernism is now a century old, and its consequences are all around
us, built into our everyday lived environments. Its place in
Britain's history is fiercely contested, and its role in our future
is the subject of ongoing controversy - but modernist buildings
have undoubtedly changed our cities, politics and identity forever.
In Modern Buildings in Britain, Owen Hatherley applauds the
ambition and explores the significance of this most divisive of
architectures, travelling from Aberystwyth to Aberdeen, from St
Ives to Shetland, in search of our most important and distinctive
modern buildings.Drawing on hundreds of examples, we learn how the
concrete of Brutalism embodies post-war civic principles, how
corporate values were expressed in the glass facades of the
International Style, and why Ecomodernist experimentation is often
consigned to the geographic fringes. As Hatherley considers the
social, political and cultural value of these structures - a number
of which are threatened by demolition - two linked questions
emerge: what happens to a building after it has been lived in, and
what becomes of an idea when its time has passed? With more than
six hundred pages of trenchantly opinionated, often witty analysis,
and with three hundred photographs in duotone and colour, Modern
Buildings in Britain is a landmark contribution to the history of
British architecture.
