Richard Murphy is a Trustee of the Turn End Trust which is a Trust recently set up dedicated to the preservation of the three houses and garden built by Peter and Margaret Aldington in Haddenham in the mid 1960s and also dedicated to the promotion of the indivisibility of architecture and landscape design.
The houses and garden represent marvellous possibilities as to how contemporary housing could be developed in small towns and villages throughout the country and stands as a critique against the usual developer housing estate which has grown up to blight many a rural and urban landscape. The photographs of the Houses and Gardens by Richard Bryant are truly superb and we have a selection of photographs here as a taster for the remainder in the Exhibition.
The practice was delighted to be both the sponsor of the Exhibition and to be the chief organiser of its tour around the UK and Ireland.
