Designed by the German emigre architect Erich Mendelsohn and his British partner Serge Chermayeff, the De La Warr Pavilion on the south coast of England is one of the finest examples of Modernist architecture in the world.De La Warr The Modernist Masterpiece is the first major publication on this landmark building. It traces the history of the pavilion from the design competition and construction through to post-war decline and recent restoration. Illustrated throughout with archival images and specially commissioned photographs, this book is a true celebration of one of the treasures of twentieth-century British architecture.
