Encounter: Architecture And Design
London is full of modernist architecture, from the hidden and private, to the big and public. Not all of it is understood, much is hated. Slowly the zeitgeist is changing, and more of us now appreciate post war buildings. Presented by John Escolme, 'Encounter: The Architecture and Design Series' speaks to the architects responsible for these works, and allows them a voice to explain why they created what they did. This week: Fabian Watkinson at Highgate New Town. Creating a modern interpretation of the traditional street became something of a mantra for architects working for Camden Borough Architects Department in the 60s and 70s, and in this programme John and Judy take a tour of Highgate New Town, now known as The Whittington Estate, arguably one of the best examples of this philosophy. The architect was Peter Tarbori, who was still in training when given the Highgate scheme as a diploma project. Fabian Watkinson discusses the changing fortunes of council housing in the area, and expresses real delight in living in his Tabori designed flat. First broadcast April 2016. [Repeats Wednesday 3pm.]
