Gimme shelter how social housing in stormy Shetland was transformed by a modernist fleeing 60s London
Briefly

Richard Gibson, at 89, exemplifies the belief that architecture should focus on creating livable spaces, not just iconic designs, emphasizing community and shelter.
Gibson's works in Shetland, with influenced responses to local climate and landscape, demonstrate a commitment to public architecture at a time of need and creativity.
The focus on making thoughtful, durable places reflects Gibson's longstanding principles of social responsibility in architecture, aiming to serve communities rather than just aesthetic purposes.
Gibson’s shelters and communal spaces in Hamnavoe Primary School illustrate the practical application of architectural ideals, creating environments suitable for everyday life against harsh weather conditions.
