Architecture Update: Post-war values
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.DEVELOPERS and property owners are expected to take more than a passing interest in an English Heritage exhibition that opens next month on post-war commercial and industrial buildings. The exhibition, entitled 'The Age of Optimism: English Architecture 1945-70', with a one-day conference on 9 February, is a precursor to recommendations that English Heritage will be making in March to Peter Brooke, Secretary of State for National Heritage, on which post-war industrial and commercial buildings should be listed.
For months the property industry has been warning - somewhat prematurely - that if commercial buildings are listed, it could reduce their market value.
'The Age of Optimism' opens to the public at Waterloo station concourse on 10 and 11 February.
