Materiality and the History of British Architecture 1840-2000
Description
Shaping the Surface explores the history of modern British architecture through its ongoing fascination with surface, materiality and decoration. Tracing this continuing sensibility to surface through to the modern era, it explores how and why surface and materiality have featured so heavily in recent architectural tradition, examining the history of British architecture through a selection of key cultural moments and movements. The book serves both as a thematic introduction to modern British architectural history and as a deep critique and meditation on the central importance of surface and materiality for architects, designers, and historians.
