Grey expectations: Tours of British post-war housing are a quiet hit | The Economist

Finding the poetry in buildings for years dismissed as totalitarian, or plain ugly, is the work of “Perambulations”, a series of walking tours of modernist homes. Their quiet success reflects a wider rehabilitation of ideas about architecture found across the rich world in the decades after the second world war. “Perambulations” started as a pandemic project of Stefi Orazi, a graphic designer, who logged her daily walks around north London’s modernist houses on social media. Set to two sides of paper, a first print run quickly sold out. The series is now on its 30th issue, with more than 40,000 copies sold.
