F. R. S. Yorke
Francis Reginald Stevens Yorke (3 December 1906 – 10 June 1962), was an English architect and author. One of the first native British architects to design in a modernist style. He made numerous contacts with leading European architects while contributing to Architects' Journal in the 1930s, and in 1933 was secretary and founder member of the MARS Group. In 1934, Yorke wrote The Modern House, a book that introduced modernist houses, fourteen pages of which were dedicated to English examples. Yorke was inspired by seeing modern architecture on his Prague visit in 1931 and initially collaborated on the book with the Czech architect Karel Honzík.
