Discover the icons of modern London in this illustrated talk. A captivating exploration of Britain’s most iconic contemporary buildings, from the Barratt home to the Millennium Dome, Iconicon is an enthralling journey around the Britain we have created since 1980 — the horrors and delights, the triumphs and failures. From space-age tower blocks to suburban business parks, and from postmodernist exuberance to Passivhaus eco-efficiency, this is at once a revelatory architectural grand tour and an endlessly witty and engaging piece of social history.
