Spence's personal works: two contrasting churches completed 30 years ago, both highly sculptural, may prove to be Sir Basis Spence's finest buildings

Article Abstract:

Sir Basil Spence was one of the last practitioners of architecture as an emotional and romantic art. There was a disparity in the level of personal attention he gave to different projects, and he operated three distinct practices. He collaborated with Hardy Glover on the Mortonhall Crematorium in Edinburgh completed in 1966, and other work included the sussex University Meeting House.
