Fashioned in an era before photography, these figures afford engaging three-dimensional glimpses of the people and happenings of those times.

Download or read book No more giants written by Jessica Kelly and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2023-01-24 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Architecture is more than buildings and architects. It also involves photographers, writers, advertisers and broadcasters, as well as the people who finance and live in the buildings. Using the career of the critic J. M. Richards as a lens, this book takes a new perspective on modern architecture. Richards served as editor of The Architectural Review from 1937 to 1971, during which time he consistently argued that modernism was integrally linked to vernacular architecture, not through style but through the principle of being an anonymous expression of a time and public spirit. Exploring the continuities in Richards’s ideas throughout his career disrupts the existing canon of architectural history, which has focused on abrupt changes linked to individual ‘pioneers’, encouraging us to think again about who is studied in architectural history and how they are researched.
