Description
Reconstruction explores the impact of the First World War on the built environment, examining the immediate and longer term aftermath on British and British Empire architecture during the interwar years. This period, often overlooked in surveys of 20th-century British architecture, reveals how the architectural developments of this time laid foundations for post-1945 reconstruction and hold significance in their own right. The book brings together 16 essays with diverse approaches to the period, considering the complex effects of reconstruction on design, discourse, practice, and professionalism. It also makes important postcolonial interventions into the architectural history of British Imperialism, examining its impact in various locations, including Cairo, South Africa, Australia, and India.
