Biography

Architect, teacher, writer and historian, Colin Davies is a former editor of The Architects’ Journal, a regular contributor to architectural magazines world-wide and a professor at London Metropolitan University. He has made numerous TV and radio appearances and his books include 'The Prefabricated Home', ‘High Tech Architecture’, several monographs on the work of architects such as Norman Foster, Michael Hopkins and Nicholas Grimshaw, and most recently ‘Key Houses of the Twentieth Century’ published by Laurence King in 2006.

Colin teaches across a wide range of disciplines, including design, architectural history and theory, building technology and architectural practice. His research interests include technical and semi-technical subjects such as popular housing and prefabrication but he also regularly reviews books on critical theory for the Architectural Review. He believes that technology and history are closer than is normally supposed and often overlap

Crowstep represents his interest in various forms of digital publishing, including ebooks, databases and architectural pattern books.
