That’s right. I’m afraid the publisher wouldn’t reprint it, even though there’s high demand. I wish I benefited from the high prices people are now asking for second-hand copies!

This is absolutely fantastic news: for the building, the legacies of architect Peter Womersley, and designer Bernat Klein, and the Borders area, which has an amazing history of textile production.

The Bernat Klein Studio near Galashiels is going to be auctioned tomorrow, 30 July
You can still support heritage organisations in trying to buy this outstanding Modernist building by giving at www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/saving-pet...
Keep your fingers crossed that the coalition can get the building!

I thought that ARB only registers architects. And that if you're not registered with them as an architect, you can only call yourself an architectural designer, not an architect.

He hated Allan Bank when it was being built - called it a ‘temple of abomination’, but then lived there himself. Until the smoking chimneys drove them out.

LOVE this 1963 video of a visit to the Mayfair Tiki Bar - the food, the drinks, the fashion, the hula dancing!!
Anyone who remembers the #Butlins Beachcomber Bars will see the similarities
