"Wireless Sites" is a history of modern architecture in Britain seen through its engagement with an overlooked but enormously significant medium, the radio, under the empire-wide monopoly, the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC). The investigation for this project is grounded in extensive research in the BBC archives, including records of more than six hundred programs on architectural themes, a similar number of articles, several books, exhibitions, and symposia. This impressive enterprise that has escaped the attention even of the Corporation's official historians, involved at least 125 speakers and 50 writers from a range of backgrounds: educators, municipal architects, government officials, politicians, philanthropists, and policy advisors. The topics of conversation spanned across such themes as the role of architects in the new political economy, the place of their artifacts in contemporary life, the effects of democratic finance on their segment of the luxury market, the challenges of conservation and planning with the breakup of large country estates, the expansion of local councils' powers, and mass tourism.

520 $a "Wireless Sites" is a history of modern architecture in Britain seen through its engagement with an overlooked but enormously significant medium, the radio, under the empire-wide monopoly, the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC). The investigation for this project is grounded in extensive research in the BBC archives, including records of more than six hundred programs on architectural themes, a similar number of articles, several books, exhibitions, and symposia.

520 $a Three of five chapters look at the uses of the microphone for architects and critics; the BBC's interest in programming on the physical environment; the politics exercised through the discourse on architecture, and disciplinary attitudes towards progress, nationalism, democracy, mass-culture, and the welfare state. The last two chapters describe how the heterogeneous and unpredictable space of cultural pedagogy established by radio shaped the discussion of contemporary and historic architecture. We explore the canonization of the genre of oral travelogues and its use to campaign for the preservation of English countryside; the exploitation of the genre of advice literature for the publication of principles of rational design; and all the contradictions radiophony opens up in the message of preservationists and modernists.
