High Tech - sometimes known as Structural Expressionism - is a
style of Modern architecture that produced some of the most
prominent and visually exciting buildings of the twentieth century:
the Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation headquarters in Hong
Kong, the Lloyd's of London headquarters in London, UK, and the
Centre Pompidou in Paris, France. Extensively illustrated with
photographs and diagrams, and accessibly written, High Tech
Architecture - A style reconsidered discusses the intended meanings
of the visual vocabulary involved in High Tech, and places the
style in the broad context of other Modern architecture of the
twentieth century. The book offers a balanced re-appraisal of the
extravagant claims that have been made for High Tech, by its
progenitors and by architectural critics, as an architecture
appropriate for the built environment of the future.
