Turnbull, William
Turnbull, William (b Dundee, 11 Jan 1922). British sculptor and painter. After serving as an RAF pilot in the Second World War he studied at the Slade School, 1946–8, then in 1948–50 lived in Paris, where he saw a good deal of his fellow Scot and Slade student Paolozzi and met such illustrious figures as Brancusi and Giacometti. As a sculptor Turnbull moved from Surrealistic and primitivist works to painted steel geometrical constructions in the manner of Caro. As a painter he was one of the first British artists to work in a style similar to that of the American Colour Field Painters. See also Situation.

Turnbull, William
Turnbull, William (1935– ;). American architect. Believing that buildings should respond to sites, and that much that passes for architecture is mere packaging, he has attempted to enrich a poverty-stricken environment with buildings that help people to enjoy where they live and work. Among his works may be mentioned the Zimmermann House, Fairfax County, VA (1975), The Library and Cultural Center, Biloxi, MS (1977), the Allewelt House, Modesto, CA (1978), the Edwards House, Chappaquiddick, MA (1982), St Andrew's Church, Sonoma, CA (1992), and many other buildings.
