How were Chamberlin, Powell and Bon? -- Lightness and colour: the Golden Lane Estate and other early works -- Towards a concrete aesthetic in education -- Master planning (mainly) frustrated -- Leeds University -- The Barbican.
Summary:

Chamberlin worked on the Festival of Britain, but the practice was formed only in 1952 when Geoffry Powell won a housing competition in London. The resulting Golden Lane Estate is as light and brightly-coloured as the adjoining Barbican that followed is monumental. In between, the firm produced a range of buildings that pushed concrete technology to its limits, including houses and schools, Murray Edwards College (New Hall) in Cambridge, and major extensions to Leeds University. These projects are beginning to be recognised as among the best buildings of the 1960s; this book explains how they happened.
