Influences, English CIAM Group, Village Housing, 1955, 1956.

            Village Housing
The B & W photo in the middle is one of Rushbrooke Village houses by 
 Richard Llewelyn Davies & John Weeks (1956-57), shown surrounded by some recent schemes paying homage to this period (Most are illustrated in my British Housing set).
 The influence of these schemes can be seen every where but in hands of intelligent architects like ‘Aldington Craig & Collinge’ and ‘Colquhoun & Miller’ the results are wonderful.
This nostalgic look at the glimmer of hope in these old housing designs is cause for despair when seen against acres of new housing of abysmal standards up and down the country.
