In this sequel to his widely-acclaimed book The Experience of
Modernism (1997), John Gold continues his detailed enquiry into the
Modern Movement's involvement in urban planning and city design.
Making extensive use of information gained from hours of in-depth
interviews with architects of the time, this new book examines the
complex relationship between vision and subsequent practice in the
saga of postwar urban reconstruction. The Practice of Modernism:
traces the personal, institutional and professional backgrounds of
the architects involved in schemes for reconstruction and
replanning deals directly with the progress of urban
transformation, focusing on the contribution that modern architects
and architectural principles made to town centre renewal and social
housing highlights how the exuberance of the 1960s gave way to the
profound reappraisal that emerged by the early 1970s. Written by an
expert, this is a key book on the planning aspects of the modernist
movement for architectural historians, urban geographers, planners
and all concerned with understanding the recent history of the
contemporary city.
