Reyner Banham

<b>Reyner Banham: A Set of Actual Tracks brings a contemporary critical lens to the work of Reyner Banham, one of the most prescient architectural and design critics of the 20th century. </b><p><br></p><p>Sixteen of the acerbic historian’s essays and book chapters have been selected by the book’s contributors, ranging from classics such as ‘The Great Gizmo’ to lesser-known texts, such as ‘The Wall’, an intimate confession he penned at the hospital shortly before his death. Each is accompanied by a contemporary response that contextualises Banham’s text, drawing out reflections on what the critic’s work means today.</p>
