Page "Denys Lasdun" Paragraph 2

Lasdun studied at the Architectural Association School of Architecture in London and was a junior in the practice of Wells Coates.

Like other Modernist architects, including Sir Basil Spence and Peter and Alison Smithson, Lasdun was much influenced by Le Corbusier and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, but there was a gentler, more classical influence, too, from the likes of Nicholas Hawksmoor.
