Five Careers and Dog

Résumé du livre

"Derek Phillips is a distinguished architect whose innovative work in the field of lighting design helped revolutionize British architectural practice in the decades following World War Two. In this enchantingly unassuming memoir he looks back at the highs and lows of his full and fulfilled life. Raised partly in India and partly in England, Derek Phillips began his training as an architect only after serving in the Fleet Air Arm of the Royal Navy during the war." "The memoir is also a tribute to Phillips wife, the sculptor Diana Hesketh, whose abundant, inventive work graces their family home in Hertfordshire. Richly illustrated and entertainingly written, this is a record of a remarkable man and his remarkable 'five careers'."--BOOK JACKET.
