"Offers readers a chance to look again at modern British architecture through the eyes of all sorts of experts." - Architectural Digest
"Very sophisticated and thoroughly researched." - Bevis Hillier
"An eclectic selection with an unsurprising bias towards Modernism." - Design Insider
This is a compact guide to Britain''s best buildings of the last 100 years, with an intriguing twist: the choices come from a wide range of experts with strong and sometimes unexpected opinions. The contributors include architects Norman Foster, Piers Gough, Charles Holland and Richard Rogers; critics and historians such as Elain Harwood, Bevis Hillier, Jonathan Meades, Alan Powers, Alice Rawsthorn and Peter York. Everyone involved contributed their ten choices, and all these lists are reproduced at the end of the book. In the main section featuring 75 key buildings, everything selected more than once is illustrated and examined in more detail.
The result is a fascinating cocktail of undisputed greats and genuinely surprising entries. Alongside the work of Wells Coates, Denys Lasdun, James Stirling and John Outram, you''ll find post-War prefabs, Preston Bus Station and the ruins of St Peter’s Seminary in Cardross. Whether you''re after a slightly unorthodox selection of Britain''s finest modern buildings, or just curious about what major architects and critics consider as their favorites, this book is your ideal guide.
