Modern Architecture and the End of Empire

Exploring the intersection of modernist architecture and imperialism, this book delves into the architectural landscape during the twilight of the British Empire and its aftermath. Through case studies from diverse locations such as Ghana, Hong Kong, and India, it examines the intentions of commissioners, the architects' roles, and the evolving social and cultural contexts. By analyzing these dynamics, the author challenges conventional notions of modernism, prompting a deeper understanding of its implications beyond imperial influences.
