'They were designing a bit of city, not just housing,and that's what makes it integrated'

摘要

Golden Lane is pretty special to me. It's a -very civilised place, rare in early post-war housing. I worked for Chamberlin, Powell & Bon on the Barbican between 1977-80, during which time among other things I also catalogued their photographic archive so I got to know their work in some detail. They had fantastic photographs of the early projects, including of the evolution of Golden Lane Estate, and over the years as I found out more, it became an important project for me.
