His position at the Daily Worker was untenable, and he instead found work at the Architects' Journal, then in 1964 became editor of the Royal Institute of British Architects' RIBA Journal. There, inspired by his second wife, Ann MacEwen, he opposed prioritising traffic needs in planning,[3] and called for increased public input into architecture, culminating in his book, Crisis in Architecture. By this time, he was Director of Public Affairs for RIBA, a position from which he retired around the end of the decade.
