Omschrijving
Richard Seifert: British Brutalist Architecture showcases 40 of Seifert's most well-known and innovative buildings in Britain.
'Dominic Bradbury’s new architecture book is the first major treatment of the life and work of an architect who still leaves a major legacy.' - Wallpaper*
'the book shows a keen awareness of recent conservation battles over Seifert buildings. It will also no doubt help solidify Seifert’s reputation' - C20 magazine
'Seifert's greatest works were sculptural, if controversial, additions to the London skyline. Centre Point... never quite rose to the icon status grated to works by Wren, Eric Bedford or Norman Foster. Yet it is a building that has dated well, standing proud amid the sunken abscess of development at Tottenham Court Road, the drooping fishnet of its façade clean and creamy thanks to the use of Portland stone in the concrete mix.' - Apollo magazine
Writer and journalist Dominic Bradbury has written more than a dozen books on design, architecture and interiors, including Rabih Hage: Quiet Architecture (Lund Humphries, 2018) and the best-selling Mid-Century Modern Complete (2014). Bradbury also works for many leading newspapers and magazines around the world, including The Financial Times, The Times, the Daily Telegraph, World of Interiors, House & Garden and Vogue Living.
