Tecton Group
Influential architectural collaboration of architects based in Britain (1932 - 1939)
The Tecton Group was a radical architectural group co-founded by Berthold Lubetkin, Francis Skinner, Denys Lasdun, Michael Dugdale, Anthony Chitty, Val Harding, Godfrey Samuel, and Lindsay Drake in 1932 and disbanded in 1939.[1][2] The group was one of the leaders in bringing continental modernism to Britain.
Tecton is short for architecton, from the Greek ἀρχιτέκτων 'master builder, architect'.[3]
