Publisher's Synopsis
Edward Cullinan (1931-2019) was one of the most admired and influential British architects and teachers of the post-war era. He saw architecture, both in its production and its purpose, as a 'social act', and he lived to witness the environmental and social responsiveness that underpinned his work from the 1950s onwards enter the mainstream. Finally in 2008, after many unsuccessful nominations, he was awarded the Royal Gold Medal for Architecture.
