Modernist in an old country
Article Abstract:
John Winter is a modern architect and demonstrates his confidence in modern design by living in a steel-framed structure which is opposite a cemetery. He feels that many contemporary architects have not had the support they deserve in Britain, and that some top quality building designs are not being given the chance to be implemented. The current trend of protecting older constructions in preference to better, modern designs worries Winter.
