Basil Spence

"Basil Spence 1907-1976 was one of Britain's most celebrated architects. This illustrated book explores his extraordinary career from the 1930s to the 1970s, focusing particularly on the post-war period. Central to his work was a sensitivity towards materials and a commitment to working with artists. Spence's work is discussed here in a series of essays introduced by a personal memoir especially written by the architect's close family."--Jacket.
