| With memories of the Festival of Britain fresh in his mind when recalling the inspiration for the distinctive Umoja House roof, Michael Manser draws closer associations with a group of humble bin stores in London's Hammersmith than he does with Fry Drew & Partners' 1951 Thameside Restaurant. Perhaps the surprise, at least for the reviewer, was its irrelevance to the Labor government in assembling and promoting the Festival of Britain on the Great Exhibition's centenary. As Britain's millennium effort at the illfated Dome peters out, the Barbican Gallery remembers a conspicuous success for the scepter'd isle: the 1951 Festival of Britain, at which Robin and Lucienne Day decisively established "Contemporary" as the style of the moment. |
