Reyner Banham – “A Concrete Atlantis”

Reyner Banham (1922-1988) was a British architectural critic and historian known for his extensive writings on modern architecture, including his influential book “Theory and Design in the First Machine Age” (1960) and his book “Los Angeles: The Architecture of Four Ecologies” (1971).

The Concrete Atlantis”  is a fascinating and insightful exploration of the use of concrete in  architecture and urbanism. Banham’s writing is engaging and accessible, and his arguments are backed up by a wealth of historical research and analysis.
