Re-forming Britain

Focusing on the rise of architectural modernism in Britain from the late 1920s, this study explores how architects aimed to make modernism the prevailing ideology in British culture. It documents the collaboration between modernist architects and progressives across various fields, illustrating their efforts through both completed and unrealized projects. By contextualizing this movement within the broader narratives of modernity, the author sheds light on the strategic campaign to promote modernism as a transformative force in the nation’s architectural landscape.
