"This is the first major book to study English architecture between 1945 and 1975
in its entirety. Challenging previous scholarship on the subject and uncovering vast
amounts of new material at the boundaries between architectural and social history,
Elain Harwood structures the book around building types to reveal why the architecture
takes the form it does. Buildings of all budgets and styles are examined, from major
universities to the modest cafe;. The book is illustrated with stunning new photography
that reveals the logic, aspirations, and beauty of hundreds of buildings throughout
England, at the point where many are disappearing or are being mutilated. Space, Hope,
and Brutalism offers a convincing and lively overview of a subject and period that
fascinates younger scholars and appeals to those who were witnesses to this history.
