Built for a better future : the Brynmawr Rubber Factory / Victoria Perry ; foreword by Andrew Saint.

Designed in 1946-1951 by the Architects' Co-operative Partnership and the engineer Ove Arup, the Brynmawr rubber factory was built to bring aid to the devastated economy of South Wales. Its visionary conception, innovative shell-concrete construction and photogenic form immediately made it a Modernist icon. In 1986 it became the first post-war building to be listed; but today it lies derelict, a spectacular ruin under threat of demolition. This story of 'an outstanding building in an out-of-the-way place' is rich in interest for all concerned with the place of architecture and conservation in society.
