He is founder member of Netzwerk Architekturwissenschaft. (http: //www.architekturwissenschaft.net) Nick Beech is Lecturer in London's History at Queen Mary, University of London. His research concerns the transformation of the construction industry and architectural professions during and immediately following the Second World War.
