Sam Scorer - Modernist Heritage in Lincolnshire
Lincoln Central Library, Free School Lane, Lincoln, Lincolnshire, LN2 1EZ
Although relatively unknown in architectural history, Sam Scorer is an important architect of post-war Lincolnshire. During the fifty years of his career, he employed an intriguing variety of building styles, but his main contribution to English architectural history are his three open-plan structures with concrete hyperbolic paraboloid roofs.
This talk by Dr Karolina Szynalska McAleavey, will consider the architectural legacy of this under-appreciated and provocative architect. It will explore his ultra-modernist concrete works as well as his playful brick structures. It will consider the main themes that are expressed through his work that remain relevant to the contemporary built environment: envisioning the future through architectural design; architecture's relationship to the wider context (social, financial, environmental etc.); and architectural legacy making.
