During the post-war years the North of England saw the building of
some of the most aspirational, enlightened and successful modernist
architecture in the world. For the first time, a single
photographic book captures those buildings, in all their power and
progressive ambition. Over the last few years acclaimed
photographer Simon Phipps has travelled and sought out the publicly
commissioned architecture of the post-war North. From Newcastle's
Byker Wall Estate, voted the best neighbourhood in the UK, to the
extraordinary Park Hill Estate in Sheffield, from Preston's
sweeping bus station and Liverpool's Royal Insurance Building,
these structures have seen off threats to their survival and are
rightly celebrated for the imprint they leave upon the skyline and
the cultural life of their cities.This inspiring invitation to
explore northern modernism includes maps and detailed information
about all the architecture photographed.
The first photographic exploration of the post-war modernist
architecture of Greater London, from Barking and Brent to Sutton
and Waltham Forest. Simon Phipps' photographs of the modernist
architecture of Greater London explores the form and beauty of
these post-war buildings. Following on from his iconic first book
Brutal London, this sequel expands his survey beyond London's inner
zones through to the outer perimeters of London, encircled by the
M25. From Croydon to Thamesmead, Wood Green to Willesden, the
modernist ambition, scale and structure of these buildings are
starkly rendered in his acclaimed photographs. He offers us a
chance to look at these everyday buildings in residential, retail
and leisure hubs again and appreciate the civic optimism and bold
architecture of the 1960s and 70s. Brutal Outer London is a
design-led hardback. With maps and detailed listings of all
architecture photographed, it enables readers to explore Brutalism
on foot, train or bus across Outer London.
A photographic exploration of the post-war modernist architecture
of London. This collection of unique and evocative photography of
Brutalist architecture by Simon Phipps casts the city in a new
light. Arranged by inner London Borough, BRUTAL LONDON takes in
famous examples such as the Trellick Tower, the Brunswick Centre
and the Alexandra Road Estate, as well as lesser known housing and
municipal spaces. It serves as an introduction to buildings the
reader may see every day, an invitation to look differently, a
challenge to look up afresh, or to seek out celebrated Brutalism
across the capital. The book's portable size and maps for each
borough make it useful and practical; while the design, by leading
agency A Practice for Everyday Life, echoes the aesthetic of
Brutalist architecture with rough textured edges and fonts inspired
by the site maps of modernist estates. Finalist for the British
Book Design and Production Awards 2017, Photographic Books, Art /
Architecture Monographs.
In recent years teacher cognition research has generated interest
in how teachers actually teach and the factors underlying their
pedagogical decision-making. Research in teacher education has
begun to shed light on the complex cognitive processes teachers
undergo in formal learning situations provided by teacher
education. However, to date very little research has been conducted
on in-service teacher education, even less so in language teacher
education. This book explores the ways in which language teacher
education impacts on teachers' prior beliefs and classroom
practices with reference to three illuminating case studies which
examine the development of the grammar teaching beliefs and
practices of three practising teachers of English taking an MA
course in Turkey. Greater understanding of the relationship between
teacher education, teacher beliefs and classroom practices may help
teacher educators to make more sense of their work, to better
understand the factors which facilitate and hinder teacher
learning, and ultimately to contribute to the provision of more
effective teacher education.
Concrete Poetry is the first photographic survey of Modernist
sculpture within the Brutalist context.
