Erno Goldfinger

This is the first biography of Erno Goldfinger (1902-1987), the leading modernist architect in Britain in the twentieth century. It is the fascinating story of a man and his struggle to build in a modern style in Britain in the face of contemporary opposition. Today, opposition to his buildings, particularly Trellick Tower, is turning to admiration. 2 WillowRoad, his own house, was recently acquired by the National Trust - its first modern property. A century after his birth his buildings are achieving heritage status.
