Filling an important gap in surveys of 20th-century British architecture, this volume reveals how the architectural developments of this period not only provided important foundations for what happened after 1945 - they are also of real significance in their own right. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSixteen essays bring together new and diverse approaches to the period - a period of reconstruction, fraught with the challenges of modernity and democratisation. The collection considers the complex effects of reconstruction on design, discourse, practice, and professionalism, and makes important postcolonial interventions into the architectural history of British Imperialism at home and in its far reaches; in Cairo, South Africa, Australia, and India.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Neal Shasore\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350283924\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350283923\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Visual Arts\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/27\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 408\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 1.00d","brand":"Neal Shasore","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48453527666943,"sku":"9781350283923","price":35.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_58575669-0346-4777-b234-69127d370115.jpg?v=1777300711","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/reconstruction-neal-shasore-9781350283923","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
