Other Tradition, The

Synopsis: Examines the persistence of academic classicism in British architecture of the 1920s and 1930s, exemplified in such buildings as Manchester City Library and Liverpool Cathedral. Focusing on the new headquarters of the Royal Institute of British Architects, built during the 1930s, the film shows how conservative traditions were modified by modernist tastes.
