Post-War British University Architecture

At yesterdays Urban History Seminar William Whyte (St John’s College Oxford) was giving a presentation on “The University and the City in Post-War Britain”. It was really on the architectural history of British Universities - definitively an interesting field of research. And again, I learned a lot about British history. The talk was extremely well delivered. However, the narrative was rather conventional: “evil” modernism and students’ protest as an reaction to that.
