The history of the construction of the house, which over time became a meeting place for intellectuals and artists such as Ernst, Duchamp etc. she is perhaps more famous than her owner. In order to build it, Goldfinger bought and demolished an English cottage, but the writer Ian Flaming, who didn't like modern buildings, supported by a conservative politician, tried in every way to prevent the construction of the new house. Flaming lost the case and in revenge, he killed Dr. No, James Bond's nemesis, to give 007 a new enemy he called...Goldfinger. Among other things, the poor architect tried to prevent the use of his name in Flaming's books, but without success. Goldifinger thus became a little-remembered architect, if not among insiders, but one of the most famous villains in the history of literature and cinema. (Original) Abitazione di Erno Goldifinger, architetto brutalista/modernista ungherese che costru molti edifici famosi anche a Londra. La storia della costruzione della casa, che divenne nel corso del tempo, luogo di incontro di intellettuali e artisti come Ernst, Duchamp etc. forse pi famosa del suo proprietario. Per poterla costruire, Goldfinger compr e abbatt un cottage inglese, ma lo scrittore Ian Flaming, che non amava le costruzioni moderne, supportato da un politico conservatore, cerc in tutti i modi di impedire la costruzione della nuova abitazione. Flaming perse la causa e per vendicarsi, fece morire il dott. No, nemesi di James Bond, per regalare a 007 un nuovo nemico che chiam...Goldfinger. Il povero architetto cerc tra l'altro di impedire l'uso del suo nome nei libri di Flaming, senza per riuscirsi. Goldifinger divenne cos un poco ricordato architetto, se non tra gli addetti ai lavori, ma uno dei pi famosi cattivi nella storia della letteratura e del cinema.
