Book

Chamberlin, Powell and Bon

Chamberlin, Powell and Bon, the first book on the architects of the Golden Lane Estate and Barbican, written by Elain Harwood and published by RIBA Publications with English Heritage and the Twentieth Century Society, is to be published on 8 November. 

Based on new archival research and interviews with the architects’ families and surviving partners and their assistants, Chamberlin, Powell and Bon gives incisive accounts of the development of these two key post-war estates.  Together the estates illustrate the changing styles of post-war architecture in Britain and offer a model for modern urban living today.  The book also describes in detail CP&B’s other major commissions, beginning with Joe Chamberlin’s work at the Festival of Britain and including New Hall, Cambridge (now Murray Edwards College) and their major extensions to Leeds University, which show their interest in technical innovation as well as planning on a grand yet liveable scale. 

Chamberlin, Powell and Bon is beautifully illustrated with new photographs by James O. Davies and drawings from the architects’ newly revealed archive, most previously unpublished.

Elain Harwood is a historian with English Heritage and an authority on post-war architecture.

Internal Demolition to Start Monday, 14 March

Hello Everyone.

I just wanted to give a quick update to tell you that the internal demolition will begin on Monday, 14 March 2011.

The demolition will only be on the inside of the Leisure Centre, but you may hear noise from it.

Thank you,

Wendy Giaccaglia

Hi I thought there were going to be monthly updates? Where are things now?

Hello Christine. The updates are not necessarily monthly, but they are regular. I have posted the latest newsletter today. I called the estate office to see if they were delivered to all residents, and they said they were a few weeks ago.

Best

I'm not fussed about updates, monthly or otherwise, but would like to know when the pool will re-open - I can't find a date anywhere........
