A historian with English Heritage, Harwood specializes in post-war architecture, and has studied this particular partnership extensively for some years. Little is known about the architects themselves, she says, because they wrote little, and the archives were scattered when the office was closed in November 1987, though much of it was later recovered. But their buildings remain, and they form the framework of her account. She covers lightness and color in The Golden Lane Estate and other early works, towards a concrete aesthetic in education, master planning frustrated, Leeds University, and the Barbican.
