A German émigré who had worked with Berthold Lubetkin's famed practice, Tecton, in the 1930s, Moro was drafted in to help realise the Festival Hall in just two short years, in time for the Festival of Britain in 1951. With a\u003cbr\u003eteam of his former students, he created many of the interiors we see today. For Moro, the Festival Hall was a stepping-stone to a career designing many of Britain's finest post-war theatres, particularly Nottingham Playhouse, Plymouth Theatre Royal, and the renovated Bristol Old Vic. He and his\u003cbr\u003ecolleagues also designed some exceptional one-off houses, as well as exhibitions, university buildings, schools, and council housing, collaborating with leading talents such as the designer Robin Day. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBased on detailed archival research and with stunning new photography, this is the first book devoted to the work of Peter Moro and his colleagues in architectural practice. Ranging from the 1930s to the 1980s, it explores Moro's belief in a rigorous modern architecture which was both functionally\u003cbr\u003esound and aesthetically rich. It sheds new light on this important body of work, and enriches our understanding of the experience and diversity of modernism in Britain.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alistair Fair\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1800856512\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781800856516\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Historic England in Association with Liverpoo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.23lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.53h x 6.75w x 0.48d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReader in Architectural History, University of Edinburgh.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alistair Fair","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43982230978815,"sku":"9781800856516","price":49.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e8b98da9-7ae4-400e-8a7c-8b2f46b43c34.jpg?v=1683259966","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/peter-moro-and-partners-alistair-fair-9781800856516","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
