Unaffordable homes, privatised public space, hostile architecture…

Welcome to NEWBUILDAGEDDON.

At a moment when bleak over-priced blocks threaten every beloved neighbourhood, PAUL HAWORTH asks why does it have to be like this?

How did this become the only school of architecture we are capable of in Britain? What does this design say about us? And what will be its legacy?

A polemical journey through our housing hellscape, NEWBUILDAGEDDON is published in a pamphlet edition by Perystrete Books designed by SAM DE GROOT.

“ANGRY AND EXHAUSTED. CRITICAL AND QUESTIONING.”
— Rory Hyde, author of “Future Practice: Conversations from the Edge of Architecture”
