EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Hoover Building" (IoE 201068), showcases the architectural grandeur of a significant arterial road factory from the 1930s. Taken by renowned photographer Anthony Rau for Historic England, this image encapsulates the essence of concrete modernism that defined the industrial landscape of the thirties. The Hoover Building, an iconic structure of its time, stands proudly with its sleek, angular lines and geometric forms, reflecting the Art Deco influence that swept through the architectural world during this era. The building's imposing presence is further accentuated by its grand scale and the meticulous arrangement of its windows, which resemble the orderly lines of pharaoh's hieroglyphs, lending an Egyptian feel to the structure. Despite its industrial purpose, the Hoover Building is a testament to the aesthetic values of the period. Its design was not driven by commercial considerations alone but also by a desire to create a visually striking and innovative structure. The use of concrete, a relatively new building material at the time, adds to the building's modernity and underlines its significance as a pioneering architectural achievement. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when industrial structures were not just functional but also aesthetically pleasing. The Hoover Building, with its bold design and enduring charm, continues to inspire architects and design enthusiasts alike, reminding us of the power of architecture to shape our urban landscapes and leave a lasting impact on our collective memory.
