This fascinating book showcases 100 standout buildings from 1914 onward, representing the very best of 20th-century British architecture. First published in 2014 and now redesigned and updated in a brand-new edition, its glorious photography is accompanied by insightful texts from a range of expert architectural writers including Alan Powers, Owen Hatherley, and Rowan Moore, along with several longer essays on different aspects of the 20th-century built environment: Gavin Stamp on the inter-war decades, Elain Harwood on post-war architecture, and Timothy Brittain-Catlin on post-modernism.
