Designed by German émigré architects Erich Mendelsohn and Serge Chermayeff and opened by the future King George VI in 1935, the De La Warr Pavilion on the south coast of England is the most important piece of Modern Movement architecture in Britain. The first major book on this landmark building, it tells the fascinating story of the pavilion's genesis, construction, post-war decline and recent restoration, and celebrates its new life at the beginning of the twenty-first century as a vibrant cultural centre.
The first major book ever to be published on the De La Warr Pavilion, the Modern Movement masterpiece hailed by ICOMOS (the International Council on Museums and Sites), adviser to UNESCO on World Heritage sites, as one of the treasures of twentieth-century British architecture
Stunningly illustrated throughout with more than 200 archival images and specially commissioned colour photographs
Will appeal to architects, students of architecture and anyone interested in twentieth-century architecture and design
