F. R. S. Yorke
Francis Reginald Stevens Yorke (3 December 1906 – 10 June 1962), known professionally as F. R. S. Yorke and informally as Kay or K, was an English architect and author.
One of the first native British architects to design in a modernist style, he made numerous contacts with leading European architects while contributing to the ''Architects Journal'' in the 1930s, and in 1933 was secretary and founder member of the MARS Group. Between 1935 and 1937 he worked in partnership with the Hungarian architect and former Bauhaus teacher Marcel Breuer, before forming the Yorke, Rosenberg and Mardall partnership in 1944, with whom he designed many post-war buildings including St Thomas' Hospital in London.
Yorke was born in Stratford-upon-Avon, where his father was also an architect, and studied architecture and planning at the Birmingham School of Architecture, where his fellow students included other notable early modernist figures including Richard Sheppard, Frederick Gibberd, Colin Penn and Robert Furneaux Jordan.〔
==The Modern House==
In 1934, Yorke wrote ''The Modern House'', a book that introduced modernist houses, fourteen pages of which were dedicated to English examples. He wrote a follow-up article in the ''Architectural Review'' in 1936 focusing on the use of concrete and this included a further eleven English houses. These contributions helped lay the basis for the postwar English fascination with concrete.〔Mallgrave (2009). p314〕 In 1937 he published ''The Modern House in England'' which illustrated houses from a number of his fellows from the MARS group. The book was split into chapters on brick and stone, timber frame and concrete. It included a foreword by William Lethaby〔Yorke (1947), p5-8〕
