The early post-war decades saw a national reconstruction drive of unprecedented vigour - a revolution in architecture and building, whose uncompromising Modern monuments dominate our towns and cities. This book, drawing on a series of symposia staged by Documentation and Conservation of the Modern Movement and other organisations, presents an assessment of thirty years of transformation of Scotland's built environment.
Miles Glendinning (b. 1956) is a reader in the School of Architecture at the Edinburgh College of Art and director of the Scottish Centre for Conservation Studies.
