Eric Lyons and Span

Due to popular demand we are delighted to offer this new paperback edition of Eric Lyons and Span. Lavishly illustrated and deeply researched this book celebrates the work of the architect Eric Lyons OBE (1912-1980) whose famous post-war housing - that today would be marketed as 'lifestyle housing' - is as well-loved today as it was vibrantly successful when first constructed. Built almost entirely for Span Developments its mission was to provide an affordable environment that gave people a lift. Influenced by Walter Gropius Lyons brought a commitment to high density housing and the idea of fostering community into his Span work without compromising his intuitive sensitivity for landscape. His success brought the practice an impressive array of awards and led to a term as President of the RIBA. The enduring success of his design philosophy can be traced forward to 2005 when Span received a special Housing Design Award given to schemes that meet the current Sustainable Communities Plan. Indeed the concept of Span mirrors current best practice thinking in housing design and continues to offer a fresh relevant challenge to volume housebuilders in Britain today. This book serves as a lively reminder of that fact. Written by distinguished historians practitioners and Span enthusiasts the book has been researched using the archive compiled by Ivor Cunningham one of Lyons ex-partners while a detailed gazetteer contains scale plan drawings of many of Spans housing templates.
