Building the Post-War World by Nicholas Bullock

Building the Post-War World by Nicholas Bullock

Building the Post-war World examines the way in which World War II and the ten years of reconstruction that followed saw the establishment of modern architecture in Britain. It charts the opportunities created by post-war rebuilding showing how the spirit of innovation and experimentation necessary to winning the war found applications in reconstruction. Above all it shows how hopes for a new and better world became linked to the fortunes of new architecture.

'An.. important and astoundingly thorough examination.' - Deborah Lewittes, JSAH, 2005
