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with new photographs by James O. Davies and drawings from the architects’ newly revealed archive, most previously unpublished.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.

Table for free

Anyone looking for a large table can pick it up for free from our flat at Hatfield House. It is a very solid table, with a white oval top and chrome legs. We have enjoyed using it for many years, but are now replacing it for a smaller table.

Hi Jacqui,

 

OK, great. The address is 26 Hatfield House. I won't be there, but my partner Bas will be. If you like the table, you are welcome to have it. The legs can be taken off for easy transport. The top is rather large and heavy. You need two people to carry it.

 

Cheers, Geke

Hi Jacqui,

 

Yes, we're back, sorry for the delay. I tried to call you last week, but you may have missed the voicemail message I left. Are you still interested in the table? We kept it for you, and hope you can pick it up soon. Some other people have asked for it too. I told them to wait. Let's try to meet this week and arrange a pick up. Please give me a call.

 

Cheers, Geke

Hi Jacqui,

 

We seem to miss each other all the time. Please call me on +44 77 99 05 06 77, or email me direct on geke@stby.eu. The table is still there for you if you want it. I have asked the other people to wait a week. Please let me know if you can pick it up, otherwise it will go to them.

 

Cheers, Geke
