A new book on the respected architectural practice highlights work that straddles tradition and innovation, writes Richard Griffiths

Chris Dyson is one of that happy band of architects designing at the interface between old and new. The book cover of his new book says it all, the title - Heritage & Modernity - and the photos – details of rusted corrugated CorTen steel cladding juxtaposed with traditional stone walling of rubble stone and ashlar quoins. It is a fine record of the work and approach of one of the most interesting architects of our time, beautifully designed and produced: go out and buy it now!
