One of the most exciting pieces of inter-war architecture of 20th century Britain.
The Art Deco and International Style building was designed by the architects Erich Mendelsohn and Serge Chermayeff and constructed in 1935. Although sometimes claimed to be the first major Modernist public building in Britain,it was preceded by some months by the Dutch-influenced Hornsey Town Hall.
In 2005, after an extensive restoration, the De La Warr Pavilion reopened as a contemporary arts centre, encompassing one of the largest galleries on the south coast of England.
