Tower Block: Modern Public Housing in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland (The Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art)

In this book Miles Glendinning and Stefan Muthesius tell the story of a great adventure of building and explain the architectural and political ideas that lay behind it. The authors tell how high-rise blocks – buildings in a modernist design that promised to address scientific and social needs with unprecedented precision – were constructed in almost every urban area.
