Modern London Map charts over fifty buildings across the capital constructed between 1930 and 1960, giving architects and design researchers a portable, photography-led field guide to one of Modernism's most consequential urban laboratories.
About This Book
Between 1930 and 1960, London became a testing ground for Modernist ideals — civic ambition, new materials, and a break from historicism played out across its streets in ways that are still underappreciated. This fold-out guide map from Blue Crow Media brings more than fifty of those buildings into focus, pairing original photography by Nigel Green with building details and a scholarly introduction by Robin Wilson of The Bartlett School of Architecture. Two-sided and pocket-sized when folded, it is designed for use in the field as much as at the desk — an essential reference for anyone tracing the arc of Modern architecture in London.
