The Twentieth Century Society protects outstanding architecture and
design dating from 1914 onwards, so in 2014 it is marking 100 years
of buildings under its protection. Originally founded as the
Thirties Society in 1979, its first major case was the fabulous Art
Deco Firestone factory on the Great West Road. Its remit has always
been to protect the best of all types and styles of architecture
and design from neo-Georgian to Art Deco, Modern Movement to
pre-fab, and its campaigns now extend to brutalist and high-tech
buildings.This book showcases photographs of 100 buildings - one
for each year from 1914 - which represent the range and quality of
work the Society protects and the amazing range of fascinating
buildings we have in Britain. Each photograph is accompanied by
information about the building, including why it stands out in a
100 years of architecture. The authors include noted experts in the
fields of architecture, heritage and design, including Gavin Stamp,
Alan Powers, Owen Hatherley and Rowan Moore. In addition, the book
includes the best overview of modern architecture with essays on
The Inter-war Decades (Gavin Stamp), Post-war Architecture (Elain
Harwood) and Postmodernism (Timonthy Brittain-Catlin). Some of the
buildings featured in the book include De La Warr Pavilion, Royal
Festival Hall, Barbican housing, Bracken House, Cenotaph, the
Firestone Factory, BT Tower, and pre-fabs.
