Brave Old World: Modernist Public Space Design in London and São Paulo looks at public space design between c.1955 and c.1975, during a crucial period for the development of two world cities.
The exhibition focuses on the ideas - political, urban, aesthetic - that drove these public space designs, and the importance of design in delivering successful – and unsuccessful – public spaces.
