John Eric Miers Macgregor : ウィキペディア英語版 | John Eric Miers Macgregor John Eric Miers Macgregor FRIBA FSA OBE (4 October 1890 - 31 January 1984), was a conservation architect with the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings. He was awarded an OBE in 1964 and the Esher Award in 1974 for his contribution to the repair of historic buildings. == Early Life and Education ==
Macgregor was born in Chiswick, London. He was the son of Archibald Macgregor, an artist in the pre-Raphaelite tradition. His mother Ellen Macgregor (neé Miers), was an active suffragist and political candidate for Bedford Park, London establishing one of the first infant welfare centres at Ravenscourt House in Hammersmith, London. The family lived at Stamford Brook House, London with Macgregor’s two brothers, Alex and Norman. Macgregor attended Westminster School from age 14 to17 years. He suffered from undiagnosed dyslexia, which held him back academically with the result that he had to repeat a year. School worship at Westminster Abbey inspired Macgregor to train as an architect. His difficulty with conventional learning had hidden benefits and he became a master of lateral thinking, often coming up with unconventional and innovative ways to solve architectural problems.
