Description

This book is the first detailed study of the Commonwealth Institute’s architecture and its exhibition galleries. It shows how the strikingly modern building and its dynamic displays inside worked together to create an immersive ‘experience’ of the Commonwealth, as part of a wider process during which post-war Britain began to focus on a future without its Empire.
