Now open until 9 June 2012

Using vintage imagery from the RIBA British Architectural Library Photographs Collection, this exhibition explores five classic post-war, high-rise housing schemes from across the UK:

• The Alton Estate, Roehampton, London
• Churchill Gardens, Pimlico, London
• Park Hill, Sheffield
• Hutchesontown, Glasgow 
• Thamesmead, south east London.

Complementing the RIBA's new exhibition A Place to Call Home: Where We Live and Why|, it explores in detail the intense period of experimentation in the post-war years.

Original material charts new living forms and the massive building types that punctured the skylines of UK towns and cities.
