Architects H. Anthony Wheeler and Frank Sproson, and how they responded to the idea of architectural modernity in post-war Scotland.

我的论文将研究建筑师H。安东尼惠勒和弗兰克斯普罗森，以及他们如何回应战后苏格兰建筑现代性的想法。特别是，我计划接近他们的战后住房如何坚持弗兰克米尔斯在他1946年的法夫调查和1948年的“苏格兰中部和东南部的区域规划”的规划愿景。活跃在苏格兰之间的20世纪50年代和80年代，惠勒和斯普罗森是一个领先的建筑实践，赢得了19个萨尔泰尔奖和表彰，和12个公民信任奖和表彰。他们的工作范围从大型机构建筑到个人住房和住房计划。该事务所的1,300多个战后项目的档案被安置在苏格兰历史环境中，作为一个单一的国家收藏品，其完整性和完整性是罕见的。有了这样一个广泛的档案，我的论文对惠勒和斯普罗森将最好的研究，通过比较和分析评估他们的物理结构与档案证据。大部分档案收藏将展示该公司在多大程度上遵守了当时的规划政策文件。我有兴趣发展一种务实的研究方法;采取定性，定量和实证研究方法，以更好地理解这个主题的复杂性。我还将使用一个整体的方法来检查惠勒和斯普罗森的法夫项目。除了从规划和住房的角度评估它们的建筑外，我还将从社会、经济、文化和政治背景的角度来看待它们。希望这个项目将有助于重塑苏格兰和英国战后建筑史的理解，通过鼓励学者和公众对当今时代风格的看法进行辩论。最后，我将策划一个关于惠勒和斯普罗森及其著名项目的展览来结束这篇论文。

My thesis will examine the work of the architects H. Anthony Wheeler and Frank Sproson, and how they responded to the idea of architectural modernity in post-war Scotland. In particular, I plan to approach how their post-war housing adhered to the planning vision set out by Frank Mears in his 1946 survey of Fife and the 1948 'A Regional Plan for Central and South East Scotland'. Active in Scotland between the 1950s and 1980s, Wheeler and Sproson was a leading architectural practice which won 19 Saltire Awards and Commendations, and 12 Civic Trust Awards and Commendations. Their work ranges from large institutional buildings down to individual houses and housing schemes. The practice's archive of over 1,300 post-war projects is housed at Historic Environment Scotland, and is rare in its completeness and integrity as a single national collection. With such an extensive archive, my thesis on Wheeler and Sproson would be best studied through a comparative and analytical assessment of their physical structures in relation to the archival evidence. Much of the archival collection will demonstrate how far the firm complied with the planning policy documentation of the time. I am interested in developing a pragmatic approach to research; taking on qualitative, quantitative and empirical research methods to better understand the complexity of the topic. I will also use a holistic approach to examining Wheeler and Sproson's Fife projects. As well as assessing their architecture from a planning and housing perspective, I will view it under the light of a social, economic, cultural and political context. It is hoped that this project will help reshape understanding of the post-war architectural history of Scotland and Britain through encouraging debate on the part of academics and the public into how the styles of the era are perceived today. I will conclude the thesis by curating an exhibition on Wheeler and Sproson and their notable projects.
