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with new photographs by James O. Davies and drawings from the architects’ newly revealed archive, most previously unpublished.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

Hi Lee,

 

hope i've got the right Lee! I was at the AGM last night so i hope you're the Lee with the responsibility for communicating information about GLERA. If so, I'm writing now because i'm hoping i might be able to include something with your mailout, and indeed any other communications sent out by GLERA. I'm working on a City of London funded environmental project on the estate (see this discussion for further information), and i'm keen to draw residents' attention to a meeting we're organising to choose between the various ideas we've received. The precise date and venue are yet to be confirmed but we're aiming to hold something in the community hall in the last week of June/1st week of July. If it is ok to piggyback on your mailout then let me know when you would need something by and i'll get it ready for then. 

 

Many thanks,

 

Jonny
