Summary
Since Chris Dyson set up his own practice in 2004, he has gained a reputation as one of the foremost historic conservation architects, poetically adapting listed buildings for the 21st century. This book details the old/new houses, studios, offices and community spaces he has designed, while discussing his philosophical approach. His worked is infused with vigour and originality and marked by an interest in the interactions between people and city, culture and community. It is fitting that he is indelibly associated with Spitalfields, where he has lived and worked since 1990: with its rich cultural and material layers, it shares an overriding sense of different elements coming together into coherent wholes, feeling old and new at the same time.
