"Be honest first and if you are honest you will be beautiful, but do not attempt to be beautiful and dishonest."Sir Owen Williams. Sir Owen Williams' influence on architecture of the first half of the twentieth century stemmed from a demonstration of what a functionalist approach to architecture could achieve. Blurring the roles of engineer and architect, during the period between the wars Williams produced a series of innovative reinforced concrete buildings whose aesthetic treatment depended upon an expression of their structures.
