The Pioneer centre was originally designed by [Sir Owen Williams](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Owen_Williams_(engineer)) in 1935 as a purpose-built health centre for the [Peckham Experiment](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Peckham_Experiment), a unique study into the nature of health, led by Dr George Scott Williamson and Dr Innes Pearse. The scheme was devised to observe families in a community setting and to monitor the factors that contributed to human health. It is now a fully residential development, configured around communal tennis courts and a [recently refurbished indoor residents’ swimming pool](https://i.imgur.com/egqtAz7.jpg). The Centre is characterised by [elegant facades with expansive sections of glazing and simple cubic massing of white concrete](https://i.imgur.com/mEQ9WDV.jpg), and was described by Walter Gropius as “an oasis of glass in a desert of brick.”

Does anyone actually read these books or is it just decoration? It kinda looks like one of these “buy books just to fill the room” shelves.
