Biographical note
Owen Hatherley was born in 1981. He writes regularly on architecture and cultural politics for Architects Journal, Architectural Review, Icon, Guardian, London Review of Books and New Humanist and is the author of several books.
This is what austerity looks like: a nation surviving on the results of what conservatives privately call "the progressive nonsense" of the Big Society agenda.In a journey that begins and ends in the capital, but takes in Belfast, Aberdeen, Plymouth and Brighton, Hatherley explores modern Britain's urban landscape and finds a short-sighted disarray of empty buildings, malls and glass towers. Yet while A New Kind of Bleak anatomizes "broken Britain," Hatherley also looks to a hopeful future and discovers fragments of what it might look like.Illustrated by Laura Oldfield Ford, author and artist of Savage Messiah.
