Architecture and the 'Special Relationship' : The American Influence on Post-War British Architecture Hardback
by Murray (University of Westminster, UK) Fraser, Joe (Royal College of Art, UK) Kerr
Hardback
Description
With particular reference to the field of architecture, this text examines the economic and political consequences for Britain of the post-war Anglo-American 'special relationship', providing detailed studies of key buildings and urban planning initiatives, blended with a wider theoretical analysis of socio-economic and cultural developments.
By looking at the effects on a highly developed Western country of a more powerful ally on which it was becoming increasingly dependent, the book critically revisits the usual themes of post-colonial studies, making this a thought-provoking and innovative analysis.
