\"\"<\/div>\n

We caught up with Matthew Freedman, author of\u00a0Best Buildings Britain<\/a><\/strong>, to chat about his thoughts on modern architecture, what inspired him to write the book and why he believes we should all love a bit of concrete!\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

How did the book come about, what is the idea behind it?<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s the third in a series by the publisher, Luster, that already covers\u00a0Belgium<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Holland<\/a>. All the books are based on the same simple principle: an architectural tour based on the choices of a whole range of architects and experts.<\/p>\n

The main section gives you 75 British buildings completed in the last 100 years, based on the choices of about 30 interesting people \u2014 practising architects, and experts in architecture and design of one sort or another. They contributed a list of their favourites, and anything picked more than once automatically made the cut. It makes for a really varied, occasionally eccentric, selection. It\u2019s not meant to be complete or definitive, but I hope it\u2019s diverse and thought-provoking.<\/p>\n

Why did you want to write it?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I think about buildings all the time and I use them a lot, so it seemed like a good idea.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

How did you decide on the timeframe for the buildings chosen \u2013 from 1918 until today?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The idea was to keep things focused on a range of modernist styles, and demonstrate what excited the contributors about the buildings of the 20th and early 21st centuries. I started planning the book in 2018, and looking back 100 years to 1918 just seemed right. The choices embrace\u00a0Bauhaus<\/a>, art deco, brutalism, underground stations, ornate cinemas, unorthodox private houses \u2026 And beware: there\u2019s plenty of exposed concrete in this book! But there\u2019s a lot more than that too.<\/p>\n

Were you surprised by any of their choices?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Often. Plenty of things came up again and again, just as you\u2019d expect: 1930s landmarks like Highpoint in North London and Bexhill\u2019s\u00a0De La Warr Pavilion<\/a>, plus the\u00a0Royal Festival Hall<\/a>, the\u00a0National Theatre<\/a>, the\u00a0Lloyd\u2019s Building<\/a>, and so on. Frankly, it would be downright odd if certain buildings didn\u2019t feature. But alongside those, for example, Norman Foster chose Concorde and wartime prefab housing \u2014 examples like that are great reminders of the breadth of people\u2019s interests and inspirations. Asking a diverse group means you get a rounded-out selection that includes seaside apartment blocks, defunct shopping centres and postmodern pumping stations, as well as all the acknowledged greats.<\/p>\n

What did you learn from writing the book \u2013 any buildings you\u2019d never heard of?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Certainly. Apart from the main 75 illustrated entries, every contributor\u2019s complete list is at the end of the book. That adds about 100 more buildings, so almost everyone will find something new. I particularly like the small, personal choices. Things like the 1969 house (chosen by Peter York) inserted in a 19th-century terrace in Pimlico \u2013 a nice bit of brutalist infill. Or the unassumingly moderne Redhill Odeon (1938), a childhood favourite of Bevis Hillier, who went on to pioneer the appreciation of art deco.<\/p>\n

Some of the choices have been demolished, what factors make other modern buildings stand the test of time?<\/strong><\/p>\n

There\u2019s a major random factor here. It\u2019s certainly not the case that the all best buildings survive, and the rest get knocked down, through some kind of rational selection process. We still have Preston Bus Station (1969), for example, only because of a passionate struggle by locals and the\u00a020th\u00a0Century Society<\/a>. The authorities wanted it gone and almost succeeded. On the other hand, the Tricorn shopping centre (1966) in Portsmouth was flattened by the council in 2004 with no clear plan for what would replace it. Guess what? Nothing ever has. It was a really dull-witted move, which looks very wasteful and short-sighted a few years down the line.<\/p>\n

Was there a golden era\/decade for modernist architecture in Britain?<\/strong><\/p>\n

We certainly have a legacy of elegant, powerful 1930s buildings, from the Daily Express HQ in Fleet Street to the Penguin Pool at London Zoo. But the mid-sixties to the mid-seventies was definitely something of a golden age, too. Ambitious, optimistic, well-funded public projects produced council housing like Neave Brown\u2019s Alexandra & Ainsworth Estate, or Goldfinger\u2019s Balfron and Trellick towers. There were university campuses like UEA, and of course Lasdun\u2019s National Theatre. Their impact and value \u2013 architecturally and socially \u2013 are still being thought through, even as some have struggled to survive.<\/p>\n

Some of the designs are quite contentious – do you think we fully understand and value modern architecture in this country?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The evolution of taste is a slow and mysterious process, but I\u2019m not sure we\u2019re more conservative than elsewhere. Some people still struggle with art deco designs that others adore. Following on from that, that there\u2019s a great big backlog of architectural styles to get steamed up about: brutalism, high-tech, postmodernism and so on.<\/p>\n

What would you say to those critics who find modern architecture brutal and ugly?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Relax, give it some time, loosen up a bit, go for a walk. Don\u2019t be part of the demolish-it-now movement.<\/p>\n

Is there a growing affection for concrete?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yes. In fact, it\u2019s gone haywire in certain quarters. Bookshops are full of beautiful photographic surveys of brutalist blocks, you can get Trellick Tower on a tea towel or a tote bag. This is fine, but it caters to quite a small sector of the population. More widely, I do think full-on concrete is being seen as less alien, less intrinsically unpleasant. It\u2019s partly because what remains is now \u2013 finally \u2013 \u00a0kept cleaner and renovated, from the Queen Elizabeth Hall on London\u2019s Southbank to the Fairfield Halls in Croydon. \u201cEverybody wants to build and nobody wants to do maintenance,\u201d says a character in a Kurt Vonnegut novel. It certainly helps if people can use buildings without bits falling off them.<\/p>\n

Give us your top ten favourites?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I think I\u2019ll sidestep that by offering a couple that nobody picked, and which, therefore, didn\u2019t make it into the book. John Wells-Thorpe\u2019s Hove Town Hall (1974) \u2014 a friendly, modest brutalist building that I walk past every day. And Birmingham Central Library (1974) by John Madin\u2014 an amazing upside-down ziggurat, a really triumphant municipal development that seemed like a terrible loss when it was demolished in 2016. Sorry to end on a sad note!<\/p>\n

About ‘Best Buildings Britain’<\/h3>\n
