From the art deco factories of the 1920s to the skyscrapers of today, this illustrated architectural tour “whisks us through decades of London design” (Londonist).
Shaped variously by war, economics, population growth, and design trends, the city of London has been molded by some of the greatest modern architects, and to this day remains a center of building design and experimentation. Through intricate graphic illustrations and accessible, entertaining text, London’s streets, structures, and transport systems of the last century are brought to life.
Discover long-lost treasures such as the Firestone Factory and marvel at modern–day masterpieces like the London Aquatics Centre; delight in previously vilified social housing projects such as the Balfron Tower; and discover the drama behind bold, eccentric designs like the “Cheesegrater.”
The city’s skyline can change in an instant. Modern London invites you to sit back and survey the scene so far.
