Aldington, Craig and Collinge, a small practice based in Buckinghamshire, made a major impact in the 1960s and 1970s through it's
houses and medical buildings, each of which was deeply considered in relation to the site and the way that it would be used. Landscape
was integral to the designs, and construction details were clearly expressed within an overall concept of varied and enjoyable spaces.
The story unfolds against a background of high hopes for a more sensitive modern architecture in Britain, up to the retirement of the
two original partners in 1986. The book is richly illustrated with original colour and black and white photos by Richard Einzig and
Richard Bryant, together with drawings from the firm's archive.
