Description
A series of original essays on the history of British postwar architecture through the concept of performance—and the ubiquitous (but elusive) image of the arrow. In the 1950s, the figure of the arrow had a strange kind of ubiquity in architectural drawings, publications, and advertisements, symbolizing everything from the circulation of cold and warm air in a kitchen fridge to the flow of traffic in assorted New Towns.
