The Exploring Eye: The Photography of Eric de Mare

07.10.2010 - 24.11.2010

Gallery 2, RIBA, 66 Portland Place, London, W1B 1AD , United Kingdom

A prolific contributor to the Architectural Review, Eric de Mare illustrated pioneering studies of architecture in and around the Thames as well as of Britains neglected industrial heritage. His seminal book The Functional Tradition in Early Industrial Buildings (1958) potently suggested how warehouses and mill buildings could serve as an inspiration to architects rebuilding post war Britain.Drawing on material in the RIBAs collections, this exhibition also explores de Mare's love affair with his native Scandinavia and the imagery made for a clutch of other books.
