Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book tells the story of twentieth-century architecture in Britain, from the early years when the movement began in reaction to Victorian styles, through its evolution in the inter-war years to its post-World War II manifestation in council housing and the welfare state along with the rise and fall of brutalism, and up until the 1980s. The author considers the work of some of the foremost architects of the period, including Charles Rennie Mackintosh, Edwin Lutyens, and Ernà Goldfinger, and places their work within the context of social, economic, and political change. Along the way, the book challenges conventional wisdom concerning the relationship between modern architecture and the public by highlighting the popularity of modern architecture during its mid-century heyday. The author reveals how modern architecture became embedded in British official culture through its close association with state institutions and local authorities from the 1920s onwards. This association was to ensure a lasting impact on the built environment.
