Chamberlin, Powell Bon.

A small, but interesting exhibition in The Barbican on the work of Chamberlin, Powell and Bon with a great picture of GTA!

Thanks Steve, must go.  Also just read about the rehang at the Guildhall gallery, which looks good, so another must go!

..and some lovely old/ ancient drafting tools- just like those that I trained on.

The exhibition is on the ground floor just outside the Lakeside cafe.

Yes, it was rather moving to see the drawing tools on which my home was drawn - and to notice that although Golden Lane Estate was consciously forward-looking and modernist in conception, that the tools themselves hard hardly changed from those in use 500 years earlier.

Since them computers have rapidly swept those skills away.

Progress!  

Aren't we lucky to live in this new digital world.  :)
