	Ernö Goldfinger / Designing Modern Britain - Design Museum : Architect (1902-1987) - Design/Designer Information
		Goldfinger even planned to add a pub to Trellick, only to convert that space into the office where he would work for the last five years of his career.
		Goldfinger’s early British projects were modest ones, such as a shop and exhibitions for the toy makers Paul and Marjorie Abbatt, while a more ambitious scheme to modernise Seaford on the Sussex coast was unrealised.
		Goldfinger’s resurrection was marked by his inclusion with the Smithsons in This Is Tomorrow, a ground-breaking 1956 exhibition of the emerging pop movement in art, design and architecture at the Whitechapel Art Gallery in London.

	Ernő Goldfinger - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ernő Goldfinger (November 11, 1902 – November 15, 1987) was a Hungarian-born architect and designer of furniture, and a key member of the architectural Modern Movement after he had moved to the United Kingdom.
		In the early 1930s Goldfinger met and married Ursula Blackwell, heiress to the Crosse and Blackwell fortune.
		Goldfinger consulted his lawyers when the book was published in 1959 (which prompted Fleming to threaten to rename the character 'Goldprick') but eventually decided not to sue; Fleming's publishers agreed to pay his costs and gave him six free copies of the book.

	Guardian Unlimited Film \| Features \| How Goldfinger nearly became Goldprick
		Goldfinger was a man who thought big, a champion of communism, an eccentric, a bully who put people in fear.
		The story of the Erno Goldfinger's vehement reaction when the author Ian Fleming appropriated his name - and aspects of his character - with deliberate savagery for the villain and title of the James Bond novel was disclosed to the Guardian Hay festival yesterday.
		Erno Goldfinger was one of the 20th century's prime advocates of London tower blocks.

	LRB \| Gillian Darley : Don't teach me (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		Goldfinger was combative, worked on the assumption that he was unerringly right and had a domineering manner which did him no favours - 'Don't teach me,' the small boy once snapped at his mother.
		He was that rare figure in Goldfinger's life, a man whom he unreservedly admired: 'Perret for me is logic.' The pre-eminent expert in reinforced concrete structure, with a background in construction as well as design, Perret proved to be an inspirational figure: his hat sits in Goldfinger's study at Willow Road.
		Goldfinger even fired a man who was waiting in the office to have lunch with one of his assistants.

	The Hungarian Quarterly, VOLUME XLV * No. 174 * Summer 2004
		Goldfinger rarely wasted time sweet talking his clients, and his fees were not negotiable; indeed on one occasion an American executive who sought to change Goldfinger's design was literally carried from the office by his shirt collar.
		Stubbornly, Goldfinger forced through a starkly modern design which was to the taste of neither of his client, Helena Rubinstein, nor of her customers, nor indeed of the builders who tried to add decorative touches to Goldfinger's drawings in the belief that he must have accidentally forgotten them.
		Goldfinger used this scheme to explore his language of geometrically sophisticated, rigorously proportioned concrete framed building, and it is his most formally ambitious work.

	The Filter^ REVIEW: 2, Willow Road, Hampstead, London
		Goldfinger built 2 Willow Road in 1939, the middle house in a terrace of three (pictured above: number 2 in the centre is the largest of three, which can be seen from the width of divisons in the central band of windows).
		The Goldfingers were lucky – Erno’s wife Ursula had something of a family fortune to draw on from the Crosse and Blackwell food business, and the Willow Road terrace was as much a sound investment of her capital as it was a family home and architectural experiment.
		Goldfinger’s love of concrete is evident throughout, by its use in both painted and raw forms, both roughly shuttered and highly finished – and wood, absolutely everywhere, from deep windowsills and fitted room dividers to wall cladding and Goldfinger-designed furniture and fittings.

		One visitor, entering the Goldfinger offices, found a party in full swing – and when he asked why, he was told with no irony that Erno had thrown it to celebrate the one-year anniversary of a secretary.
		So it is no surprise that the first biography written of Erno Goldfinger was penned by an academic whose field is philosophy – and it means the reader does not have to have any interest in architecture to enjoy the fascinating story behind of one of the 20th century’s most influential architects.
		Goldfinger moved in when the tower was complete, a move aimed to not only set an example to the new tenants – “show solidarity”, says Dr Warburton – but to learn from his design.

	From Here To Modernity Architects - Erno Goldfinger
		The long career of Erno Goldfinger in many ways mirrors the fortunes of the Modern Movement in his adopted country during the 20th century.
		Erno Goldfinger was born in Budapest, Hungary in 1902.
		Today, thanks largely to the efforts of former colleague James Dunnett, recent years have seen a new appreciation of the work of Erno Goldfinger; and a very un-British architect whose work is central to the story of British Modernism.

	Goldfinger's modernist dream home
		Born in Budapest in 1902, Goldfinger trained in Paris at the Ecole des Beaux Arts in 1921, and joined the atelier of the progressive architect Auguste Perret in 1925.
		Some existing cottages had to be demolished so that Goldfinger could accomplish his vision and there was much opposition to this at the time from conservative Hampstead residents.
		Goldfinger eventually got his way, but Fleming was so embittered by the building of the modernist homes that he took the architect's name for the principal villain in his book 'Goldfinger'.

		Thus the wonderful name of the villain Goldfinger, for the book and film of the same name, was not invented by Fleming, but instead was taken from a real life, and relatively famous architect named Erno Goldfinger.
		Without question Goldfinger was the perfect name for the villain obsessed with gold but Erno was not pleased to have his surname used to portray an evil character.
		Erno was sixfoot- two inches tall but otherwise the two Goldfingers were very similar — both were naturalized immigrants, both drove fast cars and both were Marxists who spent much of the second World War raising money for the Soviet Cause.

		Fleming turned the dominating, overtowering Erno into the impish, imperious megalomaniac Auric Goldfinger, who nearly succeeds in stealing the US gold reserves at Fort Knox for the Soviet Union.
		Erno -- like Auric -- was a British-naturalized foreigner and a Marxist who spent much of the second world war raising money for the Soviet cause.

	NPG 6099; Erno Goldfinger
		Goldfinger, who was born in Budapest, studied architecture in Paris in the 1920s and became acquainted with many of the leading figures in the Parisian avant-garde.
		His first significant building in London was the terrace of three houses which he built in Willow Road, Hampstead, one of which was for his own occupation.
		Influenced by Le Corbusier and by Russian Constructivism, in the 1950s Goldfinger became known for his office buildings and in the 1960s for the two tower blocks distinctive for the use of an access tower.

		She says: “It was a very daring move from the National Trust to acquire a modernist house, when the trust’s members, used to visiting its grand Palladian country houses, might have found it unfamiliar and foreboding.
		Harriet praises Goldfinger’s “very careful design”, with its flexible living space, which can be completely open or divided by partitions, and includes details such as the “immaculate, hospital skirting boards, which are curved to make them easier to clean”.
		But back in the 1930s, when 2 Willow Road was built, Goldfinger’s plans sparked a furore initiated by Henry Brooke, secretary of the conservation group the Heath and Hampstead Society.

		The living room has an open fire, a feature of nearly all modern houses of the 1930s in spite of its traditional associations, although here it is contained entirely within its opening, lifted off the floor to provide more effective radiant heat and prevent the clutter of a hearth.

	Wired News: Dr. Evil's Lair Evolves
		In a not-so-subtle piece of social criticism, Ian Fleming took the name of his most villainous character from a Marxist architect, Erno Goldfinger, known for dramatic high-rise residential towers whose forms echoed the reduced, brutal lines of grain silos and cement factories.
		The battle lines between modernism and populism were drawn early: In 1908, Austrian architect Adolf Loos published an influential essay called "Ornament and Crime" that sought to sweep away the clutter typical of the 19th-century salon (potted palms, flock wallpaper, mantelpieces, pianos).
		Faced with chaotic, asymmetrical horrors like terrorism, bird flu and climate change, the sinister symmetry, exuberant rationalism and global planning of an Erno Goldfinger or a Joe Colombo is the very least of our problems.

		In 1934, Goldfinger moved to London with his new wife, Ursula Blackwell.
		His three houses at Willow Road in Hampstead (one of which became his family home), encountered much local opposition, something he would come to know well in his career.
