Author’s Notes
This book covers the most significant post-war buildings in Blackheath and Greenwich and explains how they redefined the urban fabric of the area. It also identifies key individuals and practices of the period along with the network of influences and relationships that linked them.
The evolution of Blackheath’s Span estates, is another focal point. The book explores how Span and architect Eric Lyons’s work changed the character of the area, contributing to an enduring sense of community.
All of the buildings are surveyed within a wider context, shining a light on how modernism, planning policies, conservation and the arts have shaped – and continue to shape – Blackheath and Greenwich.
The Format
This substantial, carefully designed, book is specified to the highest standard. Features include a printed soft touch jacket, printed ribbon bookmark, and five colour printing process to incorporate a special pantone orange.
A large and easy-to-use foldout map, featuring all 63 buildings along with their floorplans, is cleverly contained in the outer clear jacket.
