Geraint Franklin is an architectural historian with Historic England.
This terrific set of books, masterminded by the Twentieth Century
Society, is blasting apart lazy assumptions about the architecture
of the period as being subsumed into dreariness by modernist dogma.
Instead post-war Britain is seen as a country that blended a rich
range of flavours, of which HKPA must surely be one of the more
piquant. ... The quality that shines out most clearly from this
excellent survey is the joyful pleasure the quartet took in the
business of architecture. ... succinct, richly illustrated, and
elegantly constructed survey.
Otto Saumarez, The RIBA Journal
...Franklin's incisive and sympathetic analysis of one of the most
important architectural practices of the 20th century has been
worth waiting for.
Peter de Figueiredo, Context
