Summary:

"There has been a groundswell of interest in modernist architecture in recent years, particularly buildings from the second half of the twentieth century. Individuals and groups are engaging with modernist environments in the form of popular histories, documentaries and community projects, and digital and social media. Alongside this growing popularity however, many of these buildings are under threat from demolition and regeneration. "Modern Futures" explores these trends, their connections, and how more popular and creative engagements might be used to inform the uncertain future of modernist architecture." --front cover flap.
