Description
Richard Seifert: A Modernist Visionary Dominic Bradbury explores the life and work of Richard Seifert, one of Britain's most influential architects of the 20th century. Seifert's bold and uncompromising designs transformed London's skyline in the 1960s and '70s with iconic buildings such as Centre Point, the Nat West Tower, and King's Reach Tower. Seifert's modernist aesthetic has been both celebrated and criticized over the years, with some viewing him as a champion of innovative design and others seeing his work as brutal and lacking in context. This beautifully illustrated book provides a considered analysis of Seifert's buildings, including many of his most notable works, and offers a fresh perspective on his extraordinary contribution to mid-century architecture. With its extensive survey of Seifert's work, this book is the perfect resource for anyone interested in modernist architecture, British design history, or the life and legacy of Richard Seifert.
