Join us on Saturday, 5 August 2023 at 10am for AN INTRODUCTION TO HAMPSTEAD MODERNISM WALK led by ALAN POWERS and JOE MATHIESON We will start at Wells Coates’s Isokon Flats, a significant historical landmark with a dramatic conservation story in the 1990s. The Isokon Gallery displays aspects of the project and the people involved, with a vivid sense of the period. On the route, we shall see 1930s Modernist houses in the Frognal area – one by Maxwell Fry, the other by Connell Ward & Lucas and further projects of the 1930s by Ernst Freud and Samuel & Harding finishing at Ernö Goldfinger’s terrace of three houses in Willow Road, viewing the exterior only. (Booking for interior visits on the National Trust website.) The tour is focused on buildings, but there are many homes of artists, politicians, scientists and writers to note along the way, and many stories of pioneering figures who started their careers in this particularly attractive part of London. There is a small exhibition currently showing at the Gallery, ‘Barbara Hepworth, Ben Nicholson, Henry Moore, Piet Mondrian, Herbert Read’. C20 Society members: £15; non-members: £20 Start time/place: 10am at Isokon Gallery, Lawn Road, London NW3 2XD Finish time/place: 1pm at 2 Willow Road which is within easy reach of Hampstead tube Alan Powers is a leading expert on twentieth century British architecture and author of many books, including 'Bauhaus Goes West' (2019).
