No one will ever see more, or know more about, post-war architecture than Elain Harwood - it would be impossible. Tragic for my discipline & C20 Society all that knowledge, kindness, & energy has gone. Here looking glam at book launch for her magisterial Space Hope & Brutalism:

Lovely to see the ⁦Farrell Centre⁩ brought to life this evening - should become a fantastic space for debate and exchange about the future of the city. Well done ⁦Newcastle APL⁩ ⁦Owen Hopkins⁩

Terrible terrible news. Elain Harwood ROCKED. She did more than anyone else to campaign for postwar architecture in this country. The buildings she helped save will be her legacy.

1/5 My latest in a series celebrating newbuild housing in Britain is Phoenix in Lewes, a 685-home brownfield scheme that's just gone through planning. It's the brainchild of ethical developer Human Nature founded by former Greenpeace directors Michael Manolson and Jonathan Smales

2/5 Several architect practices are involved including Ash Sakula Architects Archio Ltd CharlesHollandArch Mæ Mole Architects TDO while Periscope and Arup UK have been overseeing the masterplan

These homes are interwoven with play areas, communal garden plots and a shared cycle store intended to facilitate interaction and promote a culture of shared living. A central courtyard gives residents a place to sit, pause, talk and play and incorporates a rain garden

The architecture, by Ash Sakula, takes influence from Lewes – through its use of texture and colour, varied rooflines and recessed and paired entrances – setting out how our Design Code, which controls the appearance of the Phoenix, will be applied in practice.
