Description
New Ways: The Founding of Modernism explores the pivotal role of engineers, architects, and artists in shaping British art and design during the interwar period. This innovative movement was driven by the collaboration between émigré architects and their UK counterparts, who developed new technologies such as concrete casting and steel reinforcement to create modernist structures. The book delves into the transformation of the architect-contractor relationship, with the emergence of consultant structural engineers, and how this shift influenced the development of the British Modern Movement. Through a combination of expert analysis and illustrations, Nigel Dale reveals the impact of these innovations on various sectors of life, from residential to commercial spaces. By examining the people and structures that defined this period, New Ways: The Founding of Modernism offers a compelling appreciation of the movement's significance in shaping modern British architecture and design.
