These buildings bookend a long and varied career as a modernist who thought deeply about domestic space, cities and the constructional discipline of architecture. Inspired by his teacher Auguste Perret, he carried the spirit of 1920s Paris to enliven the English architectural scene.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGoldfinger offered imaginative alternatives to standard solutions for post-war schools, housing and offices, and excelled at the composition of clusters of free-standing buildings as well as fitting neatly into existing streets. An unexpected aspect of his work was the collaboration with Paul and Marjorie Abbatt, founders of Britain's first modernist toy business.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBased on thorough research in Goldfinger's extensive archive and close knowledge of the full range of his projects, this book provides an accessible and generously illustrated account of a fascinating figure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHaving worked together over two decades on pioneering studies of twentieth century British architecture that contributed to long-term conservation, Alan Powers and Elain Harwood added Goldfinger to their list, but sadly, it is the last in the line, as Elain died in 2023, having delivered the completed text and images for publication.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eElain Harwood is an architectural historian with Historic England and expert in Second World War English architecture. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAlan Powers is a British teacher, researcher and writer specialising in architecture and design.\u003cbr\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 200\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.6 x 9.1 x 6.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 14, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52490792141093,"sku":"9781848022744","price":89.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/5104\/0293\/files\/T1NraEQ3aHFCK0xpUFp6NmlxQ2Q2QT09_17199239-936d-4ec2-9a87-d0ad74420ebf.webp?v=1780083864","url":"https:\/\/world-safari-shops.myshopify.com\/products\/ern-337-goldfinger-paperback","provider":"World Safari Shops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
