Design for Living: Cliff Moughtin: Painter and Town Planner
Lynne Booker July
When he was 18, Liverpool-born Cliff Moughtin was advised that his proposed career of painter was too difficult as a means to earn his living.
Emeritus Professor Cliff Moughtin holds degrees in Architecture and Planning awarded by the University of Liverpool.
Because the representation of buildings is so close to painting, his second career choice was architecture, which has led him to the exciting intellectual theory of urban design, in the practice of which he has worked in many developing countries.
Inspiration for his second career choice came from Professor Reginald Ellersley Manifold McCaughan (Mac) of the Department of Civic Design, Liverpool University.
After his Bachelor’s degree in Architecture and his Master’s in Civic Design in the early ’s, Cliff spent time in developing countries such as Singapore, Ghana, Nigeria and the Sudan. Living, studying and working with the local people he gained insights into the inter-relationship between built form and culture.
