CONCRETE is Part of a series of events to celebrate the 80th Anniversary of Pullman Court during 2016. Events include a series of talks, film projections, workshops for children, social events for the neighbours and a selection of the RIBA Archive on the Architect, entitled “Frederick Gibberd, A very British Modernist”.
SIR FREDERICK GIBBERD. Pullman Court was the first major commission built by Gibberd, but his pioneering work later on would include the design of the first Terminal at Heathrow airport, Harlow New Town, Liverpool Catholic Cathedral, London Central Mosque in Regent’s Park. Nonetheless he said of himself: “had I been less interested in people and more interested in building a monument, I’d probably have been a better architect”.
