APPRAISALS OF COLIN STANSFIELD SMITH

摘要

'[His death] represents the proverbial "end of an era". Not just because of his personal qualities - the 'old English' mix of professional and sporting excellence seems to be a lot rarer now - but because his achievements seem almost inconceivable in today's over-regulated world, certainly within what's left of the public sector, but probably more generally.' 'We owe a special debt to Stansfield Smith for his continual encouragement and support over the nearly 30 years that we have been in practice. There are few architects who have had the generosity of spirit that he showed to us when we started out as a young practice. He always had high standards, as a practitioner and teacher, and was a champion for talented designers. He raised the standards of local authority architecture and, in our view, established a benchmark yet to be surpassed.'
