Twentieth-century London was characterised by profound change as the emergence of new superpower nations, world wars, and the end of empire caused profound shifts in the nation’s social, economic and political status. Architects played a significant role in responding to these changes and stepped up to the challenge of transforming a Victorian city into a global city. Organised thematically, this course will follow architects across the century and explore how they developed new building types and new architectural styles fit for a modern nation.
