Man-Made Future: Planning, Education and Design in Mid-20th Century Britain de Iain Boyd Whyte

Man-Made Future: Planning, Education and Design in Mid-20th Century Britain

Editat de Iain Boyd Whyte
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 19 dec 2006
This anthology of essays by a group of distinguished scholars investigates post-1945 city planning in Britain; not from a technical viewpoint, but as a polemical, visual and educational phenomenon, shifting the focus of scholarly interest towards the often-neglected emotional and aesthetic aspects of post-war planning.
Each essay is grounded in original archival research and sheds new light on this critical era in the development of modern town planning. This collection is a valuable resource for architectural, social and urban historians, as well as students and researchers offering new insights into the development of the mid-twentieth century city.

Recenzii

'The essays ... are fascinating if only because the period of certainty and decisive action that they describe is so different from town planning today.' – The Architectural Review

Descriere

A collection of essays investigating post-1945 city planning in Britain from a visual, emotional and aesthetic viewpoint rather than the purely technical, describing the emergence of a new post-war society.
