Sir Colin St John Wilson

Categories: Architecture

Sir Colin St John Wilson

Sir Colin Alexander St John Wilson, FRIBA, RA, was an English architect, lecturer and author. Designed the Corbusier-inspired Bentham Road Estate in Hackney (now so changed as to be barely recognisable). With his partner (and wife) M. J. Long, Wilson spent over 30 years progressing the project to build a new British Library.

Born Cheltenham. Buried on the east side of Highgate Cemetery with a substantial grave stone, giving more than a nod to the design of the entrance to the British Library.
