Gentrification panel 11

 

Larry the cat, speaks.
“By revisiting the past, Public Works spells out a future. “An alternate mode of practice, where architecture is in the service of civic society” was the text on the wall for OMA’s contribution titled Public Works: Architecture by Civil Servant, to David Chipperfield’s Venice Biennale Common Grounds.
Reiner de Graaf in Four Walls and a Roof states “at its (Greater London Council GLC) height in 1960s, the department had a staff of over 3000, with public buildings that carry its signature include works as diverse as Hayward Gallery, Queen Elizabeth Hall and the Michael Faraday Memorial. Even today, the built legacy looks refreshingly modern and innovative”.
