演講摘要
Since the early 1990s, British architecture has been pre-occupied with escape from post-modernism. For the last twenty years, the main concern amongst the younger generation of British architects has been to find a way of building that is meaningful, and is understandable to ordinary people, but which at the same time avoids the over-simple symbolic gestures of post-modernism. The introduction of funding for new public buildings from the National Lottery in the mid-1990s gave an enormous boost to this development, and led to a spate of building that was all the more remarkable after the dearth of publicly-funded projects in the previous twenty years. This lecture looks at some of the new buildings resulting from the Lottery, but also at many smaller projects, for private houses, art galleries, etc, by architects such as Tony Fretton, Caruso St John, Sergison Bates and David Adjaye. In particular, it will concentrate on their efforts to develop an architectural language that connected with other architectural traditions than those of mid-twentieth century European and American modernism.

The Bartlett School of Architecture, University College London
Professor Adrian Forty is an architectural historian. He studied History, and Art History, before taking up the study of architecture. His primary interest is in architecture's place in the mental life of societies; with this is combined a fascination with the culture of architecture. Past research includes work on the design of consumer goods, and their relation to social boundary systems; on language - how people talk about architecture - as the medium through which architecture enters the social domain; on social amnesia, and forgetting. His current work is concerned with the iconography of materials, and in particular, of concrete. Professor Forty is the author of The Objects of Desire and Words and Buildings — A Vocabulary of Modern Architecture.
