My post on the origins and designs of the Pepys Estate, Lewisham - a Greater London Council showpiece commended by the Civic Trust for its 'impeccable design'.

This week C20 Society hosted our annual Patrons Party at the Grade II* listed Hopkins House in Hampstead. Designed in 1976 by Michael and Patty Hopkins, with structural engineer Tony Hunt, it's one of the most remarkable modern homes in Britain.
The Society’s vital work is only possible thanks to the support of our Patron Members - a network of architects, developers, media organisations, businesses, brands and private individuals. Their generous contributions directly fund our small casework team, who’ve tackled more than 600 cases in the past year alone. As a small charity, this financial lifeline helps us to save more outstanding buildings and lead public debate on the built-heritage of the future.

The CAMPAIGN CONTINUES.
It is not all over. We are still challenging the decision to demolish Smallbrook.
A planning condition for demolition is that a contract needs to be in place to build the first tower. BCC have agreed to tell our legal team when a contract is received

This is horrible news. High-Tech pagan is MK’s thing. Shame to lose this.
BREAKING NEWS: Planning permission has just been granted for the demolition of The Point in Milton Keynes (BDP, 1985) - Britain's first multiplex cinema.
This decision overturns the previous refusal by MKCC Planning Committee on appeal, and paves the way for a cluster of 21-storey residential towers by Galliard Homes.

Today marks the 40th anniversary of @_xPropaganda's second single ‘Duel’, from the groups debut album ‘A Secret Wish’. One of their highest charting singles in the UK, which led the band to perform live on Top Of The Pops in 1985.
