Thaddeus Zupančič documents the buildings of London’s golden era of council housing provision as they are, warts and all, always with a deadpan but not unkind eye. Here, the familiar icons of modernism, the Goldfingers, the Lubetkins, the Lasduns, are just a small part of something much larger and more important – a vast amount of decent ordinary housing, doing its job without any melodrama.

London Estates, although it is presented with FUEL’s characteristically elegant and fine design, is a deeply political book. Author and photographer Thaddeus Zupančič isn’t claiming to make a comprehensive study of every example of the capital’s extensive post-war, modernist architecture housing, but in seeking out the best, the blighted and the occasionally overlooked, he has assembled an important record.

A beautiful and informative photographic record of modernist estates around the capital. Thaddeus’s work is as much street photography as it is architectural, and what is remarkable is the amount of lightly worn research in this book, revealing information about council housing that has remained hidden in obscure council minutes and records for decades.
