This title was first published in 2003: Modernist architecture
claimed to be the 'international style' but the relationship
between modernism and the new dispositions of nations and
nationalities which have succeeded the old European empires remains
obscure. In this, the first book to examine the interactions
between modern architecture, imperialism and post-imperialism, Mark
Crinson looks at the architecture of the last years of the British
Empire, and during its prolonged dissolution and aftermath. Taking
a number of case studies from Britain, Ghana, Hong Kong, Iran,
India and Malaysia, he investigates the ambitions of the people who
commissioned the buildings, the training and role of architects,
and the interaction of the architecture and its changing social and
cultural contexts. This book raises questions about the nature of
modernism and its roles that look far beyond empire and towards the
post-imperial.
