Description
McMorran & Whitby are a lesser-known presence in post-war British architecture. Led by Donald McMorran and George Whitby from the late 1950s, their practice developed from the monumental inter-war classicism of figures such as Charles Holden and Sir Edwin Lutyens.
Their approach to modern architecture was distinct, producing buildings that respected context while avoiding a straightforward reproduction of the past. This progressive classicism resulted in durable structures imbued with invention and beauty.
This book is the first major publication on McMorran & Whitby's work, featuring an inspiring combination of contemporary photography and previously unpublished archival material. It provides valuable insights into buildings outside the mainstream that are worth understanding and cherishing.
