Description

A3 Threads and Connections by Peter Ahrends is an oblique telling of the history of architecture through three generations of architects. The story begins with the Soviet 1917 revolution, which had a profound impact on designers in the Weimar Republic and subsequent generations of modernist hardliners.

The book explores how this period shaped the role of architects in designing buildings for a new form of society. Peter Ahrends's own experiences as a founder of influential firm Ahrends, Burton and Koralek are woven into the narrative, alongside those of his grandfather Bruno, who was involved in the design of the White City estate in northern Berlin.

The book provides insight into how modern architecture in Britain was influenced by interwar Central Europe, and offers a unique perspective on this process. A3 Threads and Connections is a document of the way architects involved in this process saw their work.
