As H&IS editor Catherine Coyle writes, “When I heard that a coalition of heritage organisations had bought textile designer Bernat Klein’s studio in the Borders, built by Peter Womersley in 1972 and one of Scotland’s most important – and at-risk – modernist buildings, I was struck by the thought that architecture is always about more than which insulation to choose or how big to make the windows. It’s about people, first and foremost.”
