{"product_id":"alternative-visions-of-post-war-reconstruction","title":"Alternative Visions of Post-War Reconstruction","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe history of post Second World War reconstruction has recently become an important field of research around the world; Alternative Visions of Post-War Reconstructionis a provocative work that questions the orthodoxies of twentieth century design history. This book provides a key critical statement on mid-twentieth century urban design and city planning, focused principally upon the period between the start of the Second World War to the mid-sixties. The various figures and currents covered here represent a largely overlooked field within the history of 20th century urbanism.In this period while certain modernist practices assumed an institutional role for post-war reconstruction and flourished into the mainstream, such practices also faced opposition and criticism leading to the production of alternative visions and strategies. Spanning from a historically-informed modernism to the increasing presence of urban conservation the contributors examine these alternative approaches to the city and its architecture.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44555859984622,"sku":"9780415587341","price":294.4,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9780415587341.jpg?v=1703533931","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/alternative-visions-of-post-war-reconstruction","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
