Summer Nights 2007: Neave Brown in conversation with Silvia Ullmayer July 18, 2007

Part of the Architecture Foundation AF Gold Summer Nights 2007 series of talks by some of architecture's pioneers from the 1960s and 70s in conversation with a younger generation. Curated by Ellis Woodman of Building Design. Other in conversations are: Derek Walker (25 July), Isi Metzstein (1 August), Geoffrey Darke (August 8: )

"Born in 1929, in Utica, New York, Neave Brown settled permanently in England in 1945. His career has been dominated by the design of housing, not just in the UK but also in Italy and the Netherlands. His best-known project is the grade 2 listed Alexandra Road estate in Camden. Completed in 1978 it accommodates 520 apartments, a school, community centre, youth club and public park.

Silvia Ullmayer is a partner in Ullmayer Sylvester, best known for their summerhouse and Whatcott‚s Yard development. Whatcott‚s Yard is a terrace of three houses built by three different architects for their own occupation. As such it bears comparison with the short terrace of houses that Neave built in 1963 for himself, Michael and Patty Hopkins and Ed Jones."
