In this print from September 1992, we see Gordon Collings, a senior partner with renowned architect Sir Basil Spence, pointing out the remarkable features of a model house built into a hillside. The setting is the Solar House exhibition in Lanlivery, Cornwall, which showcased energy-saving houses and sustainable living practices. Mr. Collings' expertise shines through as he passionately explains the innovative design elements that make this house so efficient. With his vast experience in architectural design and his dedication to energy-saving buildings since retiring, Mr. Collings has become an influential figure in promoting sustainable construction. The photograph captures not only Mr. Collings' enthusiasm but also the intricate details of the model building itself. Its sun and earth-inspired architecture beautifully merges functionality with aesthetics while harnessing solar heating techniques for optimal energy efficiency.
