Modernist architecture in Britain brought honesty to the structure
of buildings and clean lines free of historical ornament to the
style, establishing new ideas on how people could live and work.
Where did this architecture come from? And who were the British and
emigre architects creating Modernism in the UK? This book tells the
story of Modernist architecture, from nineteenth-century Chicago to
post-war Britain, concluding with a look at the continuing
evolution of architectural style, from Post-Modern to the work of
Zaha Hadid. Supported by over 150 photographs of buildings and
design features from around the world, coverage includes: new
methods from Chicago in the 1890s, opening up building options for
Modernist architects in the new century; Frank Lloyd Wright and
development of the Prairie Style; how Modernist architecture
evolved in Britain; the progress of European Modernist
architecture; the significance and far-reaching influence of Ludwig
Mies van der Rohe, and finally, post-war development in Britain.
