Discover the Modernist City
For over fifteen years the Modernist Society has been exploring under-appreciated 20th century architecture and design, and what goes on behind the walls of buildings we may pass every day. Through publications, exhibitions as well as walks and tours we have explored and championed modernist and brutalist architecture.
Now, with the help of our free app, you can explore and encounter modernist architecture in the city, or visit from afar. With the modernist app, you can take a tour of twentieth century architecture from wherever you are.
Free to use and available now on Apple App Store and Play Store for Android.
Through a series of expertly curated guided tours and interactive maps from the publishers of ‘the modernist’ magazine, you can experience the best of modernist architecture along with some hidden gems and back street surprises.
Starting with our home town of Manchester, we have devised a collection of tours to guide you along the way.
We will regularly add new tours and cities in the coming months.
Whether you are a fan of Bauhaus, Brutalism or anything in between, you will find something to inspire and delight you on these tours.
