Thanks for the tip off, visited this morning.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a must-see exhibition this one, as it gives an insight into the design process behind the Royal College and how Lasdun worked on all his buildings from the National Theatre to UEA, Institute of Education to Keeling House.
The personal effects and correspondence are particularly illuminating and the collection of architectural models breathtaking - if only his original design for the National Theatre had been built... you'll have to go along to see what I mean!
One quick thing - the word 'models' is floating in your text, is there meant to be more here?
This is definitely recommended for anyone with an interest in 20th century architecture.
