Support Peter Womersley's Architectural Legacy

Borderlands

A life spent pushing boundaries is the subject of an investigation by Mark Chalmers who explores the legacy bequeathed by Peter Womersley in the context of british architecture of the 60’s and 70’s. How have womersley’s masterworks fared over the intervening decades and what measures are being taken to preserve the Bernat Klein studio, High Sunderland and others for future generations? Here is the story of how a renegade Yorkshireman came to conquer the Borders and why the passage of time has only burnished his reputation as a modernism master.
