Commemorating and celebrating Raymond Unwin (1863-1940)
The 150th anniversary of Raymond Unwin's birth in 1863 provided an opportunity for reviewing his contributions to town planning and housing in their international context. His socialist values derived from John Ruskin, William Morris and Edward Carpenter provided the basis for democratizing design, aided by the visualization of his ideals provided initially by Barry Parker, his partner in architectural practice from 1896 to 1914. Evolution of housing design themes and space standards enabled demonstration of their efficacy in the context of his master plans for Garden City communities. The influence spread through his tract, 'Nothing Gained by Overcrowding', and the 1919 Housing Act, which required Garden City standards for public housing, administered by Unwin in the Ministry of Health. During the 1920s, he initiated a transatlantic dialogue with planners and housing officials in the USA, where he died in 1940.
