Description
Berthold Lubetkin: A Life and Work Revealed This book presents a comprehensive account of Berthold Lubetkin's life and work, shedding new light on the architect widely regarded as one of his generation's most outstanding practitioners in England. Drawing from the author's personal friendship with Lubetkin, discussions with former colleagues, and direct experience of working with many of his buildings, the study explores key themes, achievements, and setbacks of his career. Lubetkin's Russian origins and European travels are examined alongside his prime work of the 1930s and the extensive output of his often-overlooked post-war career. The book also considers Lubetkin's legacy in the later work of his key associates, who went on to become significant architects in their own right. With original black & white images and high-quality colour studies of the buildings as they are now, this study provides a valuable source of reference for anyone interested in architectural history. A complete List of Works and published commentaries is included, making this book an essential resource for anyone looking to understand Lubetkin's unique place in modern architectural history.
