” In Concorde, Jonathan Glancey tells the story of this magnificent & hugely popular aircraft anew, taking the reader from the moment Captain Chuck Yeager first broke the sound barrier in 1947 through to the last commercial flight of the supersonic airliner in 2003. It is a tale of national rivalries, technological leaps, daring prototypes, tightrope politics, & a dream of a Dan Dare future never quite realized. Jonathan Glancey traces the development of Concorde not just through existing material & archives, but through interviews with those who lived with the supersonic project from its inception. The result is a compelling mix of overt technological optimism, a belief that Britain & France were major players in the world of civil as well as military aviation, & faith in an ever faster, ever more sophisticated future. This is a celebration, as well as a thoroughly researched history, of a truly brilliant machine that became a sky god of its era.” ...

No modern architectural movement has aroused so much awe & so much ire as Brutalism. This global survey profiles 50 brutalist beasts around the world (built between the 1950s to 1970s), & demonstrates how Brutalism infected popular culture. This is architecture at its most assertive: compelling, distinctive, sometimes terrifying. But, as Concrete Concept shows, Brutalism can be about love as well as hate. ...

Was Britain`s postwar rebuilding the height of midcentury chic or the concrete embodiment of Crap Towns? John Grindrod decided to find out how blitzed, slum-ridden & crumbling `austerity Britain` became, in a few short years, a space-age world of concrete, steel & glass. On his journey he visits the sleepy Norfolk birthplace of Brutalism, the once-Blitzed city centre of Plymouth, the futuristic New Town of Cumbernauld, Sheffield`s innovative streets in the sky, the foundations of the BT tower, & the brave 1950s experiments in the Gorbals. Along the way he meets New Town pioneers, tower block builders, Barbican architects, old retainers of Coventry Cathedral, proud prefab dwellers & sixties town planners: people who lived through a time of phenomenal change & excitement. What he finds is a story of dazzling space-age optimism, ingenuity & helipads -- so many helipads -- tempered by protests, deadly collapses & scandals that shook the government. Concretopia is an accessible & eye-opening history of an aspect of Britain often ignored, insulted & misunderstood. It will change the way you look at Arndale Centres, tower blocks & concrete forever ...
