The Strange Death of Architectural Criticism is a collection of 100 essays and articles by Martin Pawley, one of the most important and entertaining voices in post-war architectural criticism. Pawley studied architecture at the Oxford School of Architecture, the Ecole Nationale Superieure des Beaux Arts in Paris and the Architectural Association in London, before embarking on a distinguished career as a writer, teacher, critic and broadcaster. A former editor of Building Design, Pawley was later architecture critic of The Guardian and The Observer and has contributed to The Architects Journal, RIBA Journal and Blueprint amongst other publications. Spanning Pawleys 40 year career, The Strange Death of Architectural Criticism is a celebration of his remarkable body of work. Beginning with his AA diploma thesis The Time House, the book includes writings on contemporary design, iconic buildings and some of the most important issues facing modern architecture as well as interviews with architects including Norman Foster, Buckminster Fuller, Leon Krier and Zaha Hadid. By turns poignant, coruscating, controversial and humorous but always original and insightful this book is a reminder of how exhilarating architectural writing at its best can be.

'Mediating Modernism' has developed from research in to British architectural culture and modernism. It focuses on the crucial role played by the architectural media in creating architectural discourse, and its consequent effects. British architecture of the 20th century has by and large not been subjected to have radically re-thought the construct of modernism, but not in relation to Britain. That there is an interest in Britain is evident, however, with several new books published dealing with the Smithsons, Lubetkin, Price, Archigram and Brutalism. Andrew Higgot discusses not the building of architecture itself, but the publications, language and images which in the acto of "describing," "interpreting" or "illustrating" it, in fact create the architecuter by articulating it and framing it. His book is therefore not primarily about buildings but about narratives -the transmission of ideas that bave created shifts in architectural discourse, ideas embodied in a series of influential books and ideas which have been expressed in significant architectural journals. Architectural books and journals have created the architectural culture of the 20th century and nowhere is this more true than in Britain.
