Career
[edit | edit source]Howard Bruce Allsopp was born in 1912 in Oxford to Heny Allsopp, a historian, poet and vice principal of Ruskin College, and his wife Elizabeth May Allsopp (née Robertson).[1][2][3][4] Bruce Allsopp attended Crimsworth School and Manchester Grammar School[5] before studying architecture at the University of Liverpool School of Architecture under Sir Charles Reilly, Sir Patrick Abercrombie and Lionel Bailey Budden.[5] He served in the Royal Engineers during World War II and taught at Leeds School of Art from 1935 to 1946.[6] During 1935 he married Florence Cyrilla Woodroffe.[1] From 1946 he taught at Newcastle University School of Architecture (originally part of Durham University),[7] where he held a variety of posts, including senior lecturer and director of architectural studies.[8][6] In 1957 he was elected a fellow of the Royal Institute of British Architects.[9]
Allsopp was a co-founder of the Society of Architectural Historians of Great Britain in 1955 and served as its first chair. In 1962 he founded the Oriel Press.[10] In 1970 he was elected as the Master of the Art Workers' Guild.[11][12]
Allsopp said in Architect and Patron:[13]
The architect is tied to humanity in a way which the painter, poet or musician is not. This is, in a way, a limitation, but it is also the chief glory of his art.
