Outrage eBook

In 1955, Britain''s most prestigious architectural magazine, The Architectural Review, published a special issue featuring a single essay by Ian Nairn, a famously opinionated (and untrained) architectural critic. Based onobservations made on a journey Nairn took across the UK in a Morris Minor, Outrage is a searing critique of urban sprawl, or ''Subtopia''. In this manifesto, Nairn warns that ''if what is called development is allowed to multiply at the present rate'', Britain''s natural - and urban - landscapes will lose their individuality and spirit. A call-to-arms against the ''greying out'' of our towns and countryside before it''s too late, Outrage is widely considered to be Nairn''s masterpiece.
