      Werner Sobek is a researcher, designer and the founder of an internationally active group of planning offices. As an architect and consulting engineer, he has spent many years creating prize-winning experimental buildings to examine how new materials, structures and technologies can radically change our built environment. The single-family houses he has designed (such as R128, H16, Y1 and B10) have set new benchmarks with regard to both technology and aesthetics. This book presents the most important examples of his work from the last two decades.

      The book examines the perspectives of British policy-makers regarding the Empire-Commonwealth during the transformative years between 1945 and 1963. It delves into the political, social, and economic factors influencing their views, highlighting the complexities of post-war colonial relationships and the evolving identity of the Commonwealth. Through in-depth analysis, it sheds light on how these attitudes shaped Britain's role on the global stage during a period of significant change.
