Iconicon - John Grindrod

A Journey Around the Landmark Buildings of Contemporary Britain

Insightful, brilliantly researched and engaging, John Grindrod will take you round the UK to re evaluate the architecture and histories of places that went through major changes since the 1980s. Grindrod breaks the themes and chronology into three parts providing interviews with the main players in the decisions to build and develop how they did and what were the outcomes for some of these bold yet unsuccessful projects. A must read for anyone who is interested in not just the buildings that surround them but the human side too. Look out for a fascinating chapter on the Angel of the North. We certainly learned something about Leeds!
