Join John Barr as he discusses his new book '1960s University Buildings' with Professor Gordon Murray PPRIAS. In his newly published book, John Barr examines the architectural thinking of the 1960s and proposes it is the university buildings of the era that represented the cutting edge of modern architecture in the UK. While there were notable buildings being built in other spheres, no other field of architecture provided the opportunity to express these new ideas as freely, while also reflecting innovative thinking about education and society.
