Designed by German emigre architect Erich Mendelsohn and his British partner Serge Chermayeff, and opened by the future King George VI in 1935, the De La Warr Pavilion on the south coast of England is the most important piece of Modern Movement architecture in Britain. This book, the first major work about this landmark building, tells the fascinating story of the pavilion's genesis, construction, post-war decline and recent restoration, and celebrates its new life at the beginning of the twenty-first century as a vibrant cultural centre.
