In the Autumn months there are still concerts and lectures to attend, but it must be admitted there is a sense of ‘winding down’. However, the joint meeting with the Delius Society in October is something to be welcomed, and we hope it may be the beginning of an association with other musical societies.

  • Chapter 6 the South Bank Site
    CHAPTER 6 THE SOUTH BANK SITE TAE ORIGINS OF MODERNISM On the South Bank on 4 May 1951, the Combined Exhibition was opened to the general public by the King and Queen. On the following day their Majesties and the public were greeted by, an urban environment of an elegance and gaiety unknown in contemporary Britain..... The plan of the site is a masterpiece of picturesque grouping. Deceptively casual, the irregular building forms leave paths that move into a central concourse. Enchantment is gained, not with conceptual grandeur but by a myriad of detail that entranced as it changes. Strolling across the fountained plaza, sipping tea above the slowly moving barges of the River Thames, or arguing over the ubiquitous works of art, the visitor found himself in ' a world worth having fought for. This inspired piece of brilliance was due to a group of young British architects (most of them were under the age of forty) led by Hugh Casson, who were given an opportunity to introduce the British public to their conception of modern layout design and architecture within the centre-piece of the Festival. The architects and designers exposed the public to a plethora of new exterior and interior designs and materials; nowhere on the site were there any solid structures of heavy stone, instead, pavilions were composed of glass and reinforced concrete supported on pilotis of steel. The use of these materials, together with the layout of the site, created an aura of airy illuminated cheeriness which pervaded the South Bank Site. (See Fig. 1) To most of the British public this was- of course both novel and exciting, but to pretend, however, that the architects and designers conception was new, original, or even completely true to 1.
