Description
Ahrends, Burton and Koralek was a pioneering British architectural practice that made its mark in post-war Britain. Established in 1961 by three young architects, the firm's innovative designs spanned from college buildings to housing, public libraries, retail, and industrial projects.
From the Docklands Light Railway stations to the St Mary's Hospital on the Isle of Wight, ABK's work showcased a unique blend of form and materiality. This book, written by architectural author Kenneth Powell, brings together stunning images from the practice's archive and new photography, offering a comprehensive look at this influential firm.
Commissioned as part of a series of books on Twentieth Century Architects, this publication is a valuable resource for architects, students, and anyone interested in learning more about British post-war architecture. With its rich history and impressive portfolio, Ahrends, Burton and Koralek is a fascinating read for design enthusiasts.
