Frederick Gibberd
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sir Frederick Ernest Gibberd (b. 1908 in Coventry, Warwickshire - d. 1984) was an English architect and landscape designer.
A good friend of Sir Geoffrey Jellicoe, Gibberd's work was influenced by Le Corbusier , Mies van der Rohe , and F.R.S. Yorke . He set up in practice in 1930, designing Pulman Court, Streatham, London (1934–6), a low-cost housing development which established his reputation.
He was consultant architect planner for the Harlow development and spent the rest of his life living in the town he had designed.
In 1953 he published "Town Design," a book on the forms, processes, and history of the subject.
