> still dont get what the point they are making It is not a thesis. It is a page of history «from the introduction to Ian Nairn’s Modern Buildings in London, out in a reissue from Notting Hill Editions». About the movement: > As a figure venting dissent to an emerging generation frustrated by the pace of change, Nairn would go on to inspire a fully-fledged protest group. After giving an incendiary lecture at the Royal College of Art in 1958, a band of students, among them the pop art painter Pauline Boty, were roused to found Anti-Ugly Action. Its members took to the streets to express their disgust with buildings they considered reactionary or offensive, in flamboyant fashion And the book (the work) is promoted presenting Nairn as bearer of strong insights about «understanding of how people live and behave», «the interaction between people and places».
