Production between Antique Buses | Buses For Sale I n aboutthe architect Berthold Lubetkin had an arresting but rejected vision for Peterlee, the new town built for a mining community in County Durham. His vision was not adopted, with the artist Victor Pasmore instead being invited to compose blocks of housing as units of mass and colour as if in a giant painting, with some help British Buses: 1945-1975 inexperienced architects on the details. The main story, for her, is one of serious-minded young architects, many of them shaped by wartime experiences, determined to build a better future out of the rubble of the old, and to mobilise the resources and organisational power of British Buses: 1945-1975 military in the interests of peacetime life. The world Harwood describes is more messy and confused, full of British Buses: 1945-1975 and self-criticism, with the pursuit of British Buses: 1945-1975 ideals forever dodging or foundering on such things as shortages of building materials and the stop-go nature of public finance. There are libraries closed or lost in Redcar and Newcastle and another, still open, in St Austell. There are bus stations, service stations, ventilation towers, a signal box, and some quite beautiful and little-known private houses. The timespan includes early versions of the hi-tech style of Richard Rogers and Norman Foster. Harwood gives due credit to all of these, as she does to Tayler and Green, who quietly turned out low-cost homes in a modified traditional style in the Norfolk British Buses: 1945-1975 of Loddon. Her definition of architecture extends beyond individual buildings by named architects to include such things as the landscape design of Geoffrey Jellicoe, and the attempts to turn the production processes that had built Spitfires to making prefab houses. Yet if these architects were mostly not the megalomaniacs of caricature, many of them liked to think big. Some of it ended in tears, in corruption, leaky roofs and unhappy residents. There were the Point brothers, Ronan and Centre, one an East End tower block that partly collapsed, the other a West End speculation that remained scandalously British Buses: 1945-1975 in a time of housing crisis. But the overall achievement is extraordinary. Harwood is an expert on this period of architecture at Historic Englandformerly English Heritage, which is a co-publisher of the book. She is a key figure in the processes by which the best hopefully of these buildings get listed. This background enables her to bring an exceptional British Buses: 1945-1975 and depth of knowledge to the subject, including of the political and economic pressures and of the various individuals behind the projects. It also means that Scotland is excluded and that the volume of information sometimes overwhelms the narrative. This is not a book to be read from beginning to end, in one go. But for anyone interested in the subject, it is a highly satisfying and comprehensive assembly of projects, images, facts and stories. Facebook Twitter Pinterest.
