Buildings OF the 1970s are more like those of today than those of the 1960s. This is particularly true of office buildings, where slim towers gave way to large floor plates and open planning - compare Foster Associates'Ipswich offices for insurance broker Willis Faber Dumas with the 1950s Shell tower or 1960s Centre Point. The building is still used in the same way by the same owner, the Willis Group. Similar features are also still to be found at the headquarters of the Halifax Building Society, a glazed raft of offices by the Building Design Partnership from 1972-4 tucked into its namesake town.

机译:1970年代的建筑比1960年代的建筑更像今天的建筑。对于办公楼来说尤其如此,在那儿,细长的塔架让位于大型楼板和开放式规划中-将Foster Associates的保险经纪人Willis Faber Dumas的Ipswich办公室与1950年代的Shell塔楼或1960年代的Center Point进行比较。该建筑物仍由同一所有者Willis Group以相同方式使用。在哈利法克斯建筑协会(Halifax Building Society)的总部仍然可以找到类似的特征,该建筑是由建筑设计合作组织(1972--4)夹在其同名城镇中的釉面办公室。
