author · photographer
Oliver Falvey Hill (1887–1968) was a prominent British architect, interior designer, and photographer. He began his career in private practice in 1912 after serving in the Army during World War I. Known for his versatile style, he moved from Lutyenesque influences in the 1920s to embracing Modernism following a visit to the Stockholm Exhibition in 1930. Hill was highly active in designing major exhibitions and pavilions, including the British Pavilion at the 1937 Exposition des Arts et Techniques dans la Vie Moderne in Paris. Beyond architecture, he was an accomplished photographer whose works often captured children and sylvan settings, published in several notable collections.[1,3]
