Abstract (en)

Reassessment of English architecture from the 1930s through the 1950s, which aims to identify the original features that prevent some works from fitting the conventional definitions of modernism. Points out several important influences in architectural developments, including the designs of Le Corbusier, the introduction (and in some cases rejection) of new materials, the surrealist movement in painting, and the writings published in the Architectural Review.
