Description
Forty years after his death, Wells Coates is seen as a seminal figure in the modern movement in architecture in Britain. His blocks of flats, his shop and office designs, houses, interiors, radios, and other industrial designs, are evidence of his commitment to a functional aesthetic and of his refusal to compromise his own high standards.Wells Coates’s daughter Laura Cohn has written this book to try to illustrate the conflicts, qualities and disappointments of an extraordinary man.
