Finsbury Health Centre

Synopsis: Examines the work of Berthold Lubetkin through a study of one of the buildings he designed with the Tecton partnership - the Finsbury Health Centre. Uses material from diverse contemporary sources to illustrate the story of the building which, when designed in 1938, was revolutionary in concept. Berthold Lubetkin is shown returning to the building for the first time in over 40 years. The videotape was produced by a student of Brighton Polytechnic as part of a dissertation.
