Biography
F R Yerbury, AA Secretary during the 1920s and 1930s, tirelessly promoted the School in order to establish it as the artistic and social centre of architectural debate. Yerbury, a gifted and prolific photographer, revived the practice of annual excursions for staff and students that had been a regular feature of AA life before the First World War. The photographs he took during these trips exposed the architectural community in the UK to the architects and buildings of the Modern Movement. During visits to France, Holland, Germany, and in particular to Sweden, Yerbury made many important contacts for the AA with other architects and institutions. In 1948 Yerbury donated 3000 of his own negatives to the AA.
