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with new photographs by James O. Davies and drawings from the architects’ newly revealed archive, most previously unpublished.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

Resident information
Results of open spaces survey
Wendy Giaccaglia has compiled the results of the open spaces survey that she ran a few months ago. There were 63 responses, which have been summarised in the following documents. We now need to review these and decide what areas to prioritise. There may be cost implications with any changes that are supported.
The first document contains a summary of the survey results. A paper copy will be sent to all households.
The second document provides the anonymised text responses to each of the questions (T-tenant, L-leaseholder).
The third document is an indication of whether any planning or listed building consent would be required to make the listed changes. A traffic light system is used where green means no consent required, orange means it may be required and red means consent would definitely need to be sought. A paper copy will only be sent to those households that responded to the survey.
This document describes the minimum standard that should be provided by CoL for the provision of services on Golden Lane Estate. It contains details of what maintenance, cleaning, management and communication residents should expect.
