Why read it?
1 author picked No Place Like Utopia as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Hands down, the best book on modern architecture from someone who lived it. Peter Blake was an architect and renowned critic who ran in serious architectural circles during the modern movement. As editor-in-chief of Architectural Forum, he was an expert on the topic and knew everyone involved. His engaging and approachable writing style makes this a must-read for every budding modernist. I re-read this book every year…it’s that good.
From Stephanie's list on introducing architecture and interior design to everyone.
