The Banham Lectures presents a series of essays by leading critics
on art, design, architecture and culture. All are inspired by the
revolutionary work of Reyner Banham, who continues to be one of the
greatest influences on Design and Architecture today. Integrating
the study of pop art, industrial design and material culture for
the first time, Banham's brilliant analyses of subjects - such as
automobile styling, mobile homes, science fiction films, and our
fondness for gadgets - anticipated many of our contemporary
preoccupations. And just as Banham sought to overturn the views of
previous generations, these critics aim to rethink the objects and
buildings we use today. Provocative, engaged and inspired, The
Banham Lectures is essential reading for anyone interested in the
world we have made. CONTRIBUTORS: Mary Banham, Paul Barker, Tim
