Notice biographique
Trained at the Welsh School of Architecture. In 1937 appointed to an assistant lectureship at King’s College, Newcastle, where he was influenced by L. C. Evetts, the authority on Roman lettering. University lecturer in Architecture, 1946-1978, with architectural commissions in Magdalene, 1953-1971. Made a Fellow in 1958. He designed more buildings in Cambridge than any other architect in history, but was also in demand for student accommodation at Oxford, Durham, Bangor, Liverpool and Sheffield. He was expert at the conversion of old buildings. Famous for personal charm and a hooting laugh.
