Carl Ludwig Franck

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Carl Ludwig Franck (25 September 1904 in Berlin – 20 February 1985 in London), the youngest son of the German painter Philipp Franck, was an architect who practiced in the United Kingdom from the 1930s to the 1960s. He was a member of the architectural practice Tecton from the late 1930s to its dissolution in 1948. A highly skilled draftsman, he provided detailed drawings of many of Tecton's most famous projects. Though initially interned as an enemy alien during World War II, in Hutchinson Camp on the Isle of Man, when he shared a room with Fred Uhlman, he later assisted Ove Arup in ARP and engineering projects. In his post-Tecton career he designed the Finsbury Estate in Islington, including the Finsbury Library. He was the author of The villas of Frascati, 1550-1750, London, Tiranti, 1966, a revised English translation of his earlier German study Die Barockvillen in Frascati, Munich, Deutschkunstverlag, 1956.
