Description
Ernö Goldfinger was a modernist architect who left an indelible mark on 20th-century British architecture. His work spanned from pre-war Hampstead houses to high-rise housing in the late 1960s, offering imaginative alternatives to standard solutions for post-war buildings. Goldfinger's career was marked by his collaboration with other innovative thinkers, including Paul and Marjorie Abbatt, founders of Britain's first modernist toy business. This book provides an accessible and generously illustrated account of Goldfinger's life and work, based on thorough research in his extensive archive. With contributions from Alan Powers and Elain Harwood, this publication offers a unique insight into the life and work of a fascinating figure who played a significant role in shaping British architecture.
