One hundred years after the birth of the architect Basil Spence, Sarah Gaventa examines his legacy.
Many of his major buildings, including Coventry Cathedral and Sussex University, survive and thrive. Others, including Gorbals tower blocks, have been demolished.
Spence also left behind a huge collection of drawings, models and photos. Sarah reports on the preservation of the Spence archive and talks to people making use of his buildings today.
