Scope and content
Publicising an exhibition of the work of Walter Gropius at the Building Centre in London. Includes some of the correspondence about Impington deposited at University of East Anglia, "It shows how the work came about; some of the problems which have always beset modern architects and designers; many of the people who supported and made the scheme possible; and the central role in ensuring the project was carried out not only by Henry Morris but by Jack Pritchard. The last letter shows the disasterous effects of World War 2".
