Modern: The Modern Movement in Britain Paperback – Illustrated, 16 Aug. 2007

This is not a complete guide of all the Modernist buildings in Britain but an introduction to the concept of the Modern movement and has a collection of over 40 significant buildings and their stories.The book is printed in high quality paper with very good BW and colour pictures.There is an extensive reference guide in the back of the book for further reading.It contains many blue prints and photographs of building that might be helpful to people involved in restoration and extension projects.

Good ,but I am a boring old architect and need full plans ,sections,elevations etc for every building.Suprising how boring alot of early modern was.Integration with the outside was generally poor.Don't know what to make of the Gwynne house.Modern Houses (ie recently built) are so much better.Meier anyone?

So

Superbly illustrated and very good value paperback.

An excellent, balanced book that has digestable text and wonderful pictures. A great introduction to the subject.

brilliant book

This book Is a great entry level to the modern movement in Britainand a gateway to further reading fantanstic

Excellent!
