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with new photographs by James O. Davies and drawings from the architects’ newly revealed archive, most previously unpublished.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

Cost £20

Hi All,I think it'd be great to set up a small workshop somewhere on the estate for anyone to use. It wouldn't need much more than a solid work surface, a vice and perhaps some tools, although it…Continue

Ditto, a new website for giving away unused stuff

Hi All,This is self promotion but unashamedly so, since it should be of real interest to anyone on the estate who has unused stuff lying around or wants free stuff!I've just built and am about to launch a new website, Ditto, which makes it really easy to give away the stuff you're not using and to find unused stuff near you. We're now live at http://www.ditto.do.At Ditto, we value the use of things, not the ownership of them. We think that real…See More

"Right, I'll look into commandeering one of them. Who do you think the right person to approach is? Should I start with Ian?"

"This is a really binteresting idea. I think that there are quite a lot of rooms in basements of all the buildings that used to be wash rooms etc. Worth investigating."

Workshop

Hi All,I think it'd be great to set up a small workshop somewhere on the estate for anyone to use. It wouldn't need much more than a solid work surface, a vice and perhaps some tools, although it could also operate under a BYO tools arrangement. I'm often building stuff and finding my own flat's not quite cut out for it - there must be plenty of other people in the same situation. It'd also help keep DIY noise to a minimum.I seem to remember some mention of this having existed in the past but…See More

"Hi Gardeners, Has anyone any advice for what to grow on a balcony half way up Great Arthur House (west side)? It's often pretty windy up here and everything I've put in so far has died. I've got a planter box on the shelf about 25cms…"
