Unfair dismissal

摘要

Architectural history relies on the primary sources that shape discourse, the buildings themselves. Neave Brown, the architect of Camden's Alexandra Road Estate and who sadly passed away this January, was relatively unknown when the project was listed in 1993, but the effect of this was to establish his status as a major postwar British architect, resulting in all of his work in the UK being listed by 2014. It is clear that listing has a major impact on the standing of an architect -which in turn influences the way we assess their work.
