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with new photographs by James O. Davies and drawings from the architects’ newly revealed archive, most previously unpublished.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

Christine Clifford posted a discussionFann Street road works noise
If you live overlooking Fann Street you will have been particularly bothered by drilling noise etc., recently. This sort of work is of course unavoidable.I noticed the green noise reduction pads did make a difference, seeming to lessen those high ' dentist drill' levels of noise.However now that the team has moved towards Goswell Road end of Fann St they have drilled without the green pads which have been left at the end they have finished!We telephoned to report the problem this morning.You…See More

Bev Bytheway said… Christine, Tracy, Nick and Daniel are all on the waiting list.
We are hoping to introduce a few more bags again this season, but the space is limited.
We now have 31 bags in all, with 50 or more people involved, but there are another 17 people on the waiting list.
Would be great if we could think of a potential second site on the Estate, to enable everyone who is interested to be able to take-up a bag.
Think Patricia's idea to run a buddy scheme is brilliant, so will ask for volunteers from the baggers.
