Description
Post-Modern Buildings in Britain by Geraint Franklin and Elain Harwood is an insightful exploration of a pivotal architectural movement. First introduced as a response to Brutalism, post-modernism experienced a resurgence in popularity as its most notable buildings began to disappear from the landscape. This book delves into the history and key architects behind this style, before showcasing Britain's finest examples. Beautifully illustrated entries feature new photography, highlighting iconic structures such as the SIS Building, John Outram's pumping station in London's Docklands, and James Stirling's No.1 Poultry - a unique corner of the City that was recently listed as England's youngest building. With its engaging narrative and stunning visuals, Post-Modern Buildings in Britain offers a fresh perspective on this influential architectural movement.
