Encounter: Architecture And Design
[Repeated from Wednesday 6pm.] London is full of modernist architecture, from the hidden and private, to the big and public. Not all of it is understood, much is hated. Slowly the zeitgeist is changing, and more of us now appreciate post war buildings. Presented by John Escolme, 'Encounter' speaks to the architects responsible for these works, and allows them a voice to explain why they created what they did. This week: many people are familiar with the work of architect Ernö Goldfinger, and his Modern Movement home in Hampstead, owned by the National Trust, but few have much idea about the rest of his portfolio, outside the Trellick and Balfron towers. This week John Escolme visits one of Goldfinger’s apartment schemes in Primrose Hill, built between 1954 and 1956. He meets the illustrator and book designer Pauline Baines who has lived in the block since she and group of friends and associates commissioned Goldfinger to design it in 1952.
