Dale Owen

Ivan Dale Owen (2 August 1924 – 12 November 1997) was a Welsh architect in the modernist architectural style.

[4][6] "Gropius presented the modern movement not as a style but as a completely new approach to architecture which took full account of technical, economic and social conditions of life" He then spent over a year working for Walter Gropius's practice, The Architects Collaborative, in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

[6] He returned to Wales with health problems and in 1958 was hired by Percy Thomas & Son as an associate in their Cardiff office.

[15] There is a memorial window to Owen and to his son who died in infancy in All Saints Church, Penarth.

The window includes a depiction of Owen's design for the bell tower and Great Hall of Aberystwyth University, in which it signifies the Heavenly City.
