    Architecture in tension: an examination of the position of the architect in the private and public sectors, focusing on the training and careers of Sir Basil Spence (1907-1976) and Sir Donald Gibson (1908-1991)

    In the early 1900s tensions began to appear within the architectural profession, as private practitioners struggled to deal with the implications of professional colleagues moving into public sector employment. Sir Basil Spence and Sir Donald Gibson began their architectural training in the mid-1920s and, as tensions between the sectors intensified, Spence entered private practice and Gibson chose to enter the public sector. Each became an exemplar of his chosen sector of the profession and yet both have, until recently, escaped critical attention. The tensions between the public and private sectors of the profession have been acknowledged within the historiography, but not received detailed analysis. This thesis advances the current historiography by presenting an examination of the division between the sectors, focusing on the relationship between the RIBA and the public sector union AASTA and assessing the influence of AASTA on Gibson's Coventry City Architect's Department. Through an examination of archival material, contemporary published material, and buildings, this thesis builds on the work of the Sir Basil Spence Archive Project, adding detailed accounts of his early life, architectural training, and RIBA presidency, presenting new information and correcting certain aspects of the accepted historiography. It likewise presents new information on Gibson's early life and training and his central role in achieving improved status and representation for the public sector. An analysis of selected projects provides a comparative study of their contrasting approaches to architecture: the technically informed, collaborative team-work of Gibson and the individual artistry of Spence. Both men played pivotal roles in reforming the RIBA and in changing public and professional perceptions of the architect, nevertheless, the long lineage and complex nature of tensions within the profession meant that the public/private division was never be bridged and issues of status and representation remained essentially immutable

    Standards for the level of nurse staffing in critical care units

    No full text
    The gold standard for nurse staffing levels in critical care in the United Kingdom has been established since 1967 at one nurse for each patient. Recent evidence suggests however that there is a great deal of difference in the staffing levels and skill mix between individual critical care units in the UK, with the result that nurses are being challenged to justify and defend the 1:1 ratio. The aim of this article is to provide the wider intensive care community with an overview of the Standards for Nurse Staffing in Critical Care units as proposed by the organisations representing critical care nurses in the UK

    Margaret Gibson is the author of six books of poetry. Her book Long Walks in the Afternoon (1982) was a Lamont Selection, given by the Academy of American Poets. Memories of the Future (1986) was the co-winner of the Melville Cane Award, given by the Poetry Society of America. The Vigil (1993) was a finalist for the National Book Award. She has received grants from the National Endowment for the Arts and the Lila Wallace/Readers Digest Fellowship. Of The Vigil, Richard Dillard said, For women who are trying to come to grips with the complex loves and entrapments of the mother-daughter relationship, for victims of alcoholic husbands and fathers (and complicitous mothers), for readers who like books that explore unflinchingly the darkened mazes of the human heart, and especially for readers who care for the shapings and discoveries of poetic language, I recommend The Vigil. Its fire burns brightly and with healing force. During the fall of 1999, Margaret Gibson will be the writer-in-residence at Old Dominion
