Ian Nairn (1930-1983) was a British architectural critic and
topographer
who coined the term "subtopia" for the areas around cities that had
in his
view been failed by urban planning, losing their individuality and
spirit of
place. In the 1960s he contributed to the volumes on Surrey and
Sussex in Nikolaus Pevsner's Buildings of England series and
published a number of his own books, including Nairn's Paris and
Nairn's Towns, both published by Notting Hill Editions.
Travis Elborough is the author of many books, including Wish You
Were
Here- England on Sea, The Long-Player Goodbye, Through the
Looking
Glasses- The Spectacular Life of Spectacles, and Atlas of Vanishing
Places,
winner of Edward Stanford Travel Book Award in 2020.
