Description
Eric Lyons and Span is a lavishly illustrated book that celebrates the work of architect Eric Lyons OBE, whose innovative housing designs continue to inspire today. Lyons' post-war housing, built for Span Developments, was designed to provide an affordable environment that fostered community, and his commitment to high-density housing and landscape sensitivity remains a relevant challenge to volume housebuilders in Britain. This book, written by distinguished historians and practitioners, draws on Lyons' archive and includes detailed scale plan drawings of his housing templates, offering a fresh perspective on his enduring design philosophy.
