This is the first major book to study English architecture between
1945 and 1975 in its entirety. Challenging previous scholarship on
the subject and uncovering vast amounts of new material at the
boundaries between architectural and social history, Elain Harwood
structures the book around building types to reveal why the
architecture takes the form it does. Buildings of all budgets and
styles are examined, from major universities to the modest cafe.
The book is illustrated with stunning new photography that reveals
the logic, aspirations, and beauty of hundreds of buildings
throughout England, at the point where many are disappearing or are
being mutilated. Space, Hope, and Brutalism offers a convincing and
lively overview of a subject and period that fascinates younger
scholars and appeals to those who were witnesses to this history.
