Gavin Stamp (1948-2017).

Gavin Stamp, who died on 30th December 2017, gave the plenary lecture at the project conference on Architecture, Diplomacy and National Identity held at the British School at Rome in 2008. Invited to speak on the topic of Lutyens and Spence, he rose to the challenge with gusto and his lecture provided a wonderfully erudite and engaging start to the conference. (see Conferences: Rome for the text) Gavin proved a stimulating and congenial companion for the next two days of papers and visits before he was whisked off to L’Acquila by his former student Andrew Hopkins.

Gavin recently wrote in his Private Eye column about the Foreign Office’s ill-advised proposal to sell Spence’s Rome Embassy building. Gavin never hesitated to blow the whistle on such projects and warn of the adverse consequences - for architecture, people, and cities - of uncontrolled property development. His death represents a huge loss to architectural history and the conservation movement.
