David Aberdeen

David William du Roi Aberdeen (13 August 1913 – 15 January 1987)[1][2][3] was an English architect.

In 1948, Aberdeen won an architectural competition to design the new TUC headquarters building in Great Russell Street, London.

[5] Congress House was officially opened on 27 March 1958 along with the unveiling of the sculpture by Jacob Epstein, intended as a memorial to the dead trade unionists of both world wars, in the courtyard.

[7] As of 2020, it still serves as the TUC's headquarters and is available on a private hire basis for events.

[8] Aberdeen's other work includes the Aircraft Assembly Buildings at Filton, Bristol (jointly with Eric Ross), 1947-49, the Swiss Centre in Leicester Square, London, 1961-8,[7] and Shrewsbury Market Hall, 1965.
