Illustration showing indoor and outdoor recreation

This drawing by the Hungarian architect Ernö Goldfinger illustrates the importance he placed on recreation spaces for both adults and children. During World War II Erno Goldfinger presented his vision of the reconstruction of a post war Britain in a series of exhibitions mounted for the Army Bureau of Current Affairs (A.B.C.A.). In the 1944 ABCA exhibition entitled 'Planning Your Neighbourhood: for home, for work, for play' Goldfinger proposed a blueprint for the rebuilding of the heavily bombed London district of Shoreditch. The image shown here is page 7 of a bound presentation booklet for the project which was designed for the Air Ministry Directorate of Educational Services.
