House Van Wassenhove 1970-74, architect Juliaan Lampens. The house is profoundly brutalist yet at the same time perfectly suited to the wooded area which surrounds it. In the care of the Dhondt-Dhaenens Museum. In 2015 the Van Wassenhove House was restored and architecture fans can now arrange to stay overnight and experience the very special qualities of the design.

Shakespeare Tower: Some time around 1604 William Shakespeare moved into rented rooms on the corner of the now no longer existing Monkwell Street and Silver Street in the Ward of Cripplegate. The Bard was the tenant of the Huguenot, Christopher Mountjoy. Hence the Barbican block nearest to the site of Shakespeare’s lodgings is called Mountjoy House. Shakespeare Tower commemorates this famous City resident.

Galerie Berinson and the Emergence of Modern Photography

Discovering Berlin's Galerie Berinson was a moment of exhilaration.  It made me feel so much better about my obsession with 'German' avant-garde photography.

The controversial development plan for the Barbican border,
London Wall West, hasn’t gone away

Bastion House, so reminiscent of the revered Seagram Building in New York by Mies van der Rohe, is to be demolished along with the white-tiled Museum of London and the rotunda in the junction of London Wall at Aldersgate Street.
And the demolition could begin very soon…

Could there have been a more complex moment to take the temperature of the international community? In 1937 from the Seine to the Eiffel Tower in the Champs de Mars and across the gardens of the Trocadero, the Exposition Internationale des Arts et Techniques dans la Vie Moderne was showcased. But it also allowed a group of nations to showcase the toxic ideologies of fascism, Naziism and Communism

Looking back, Looking forward
what has been lost and what can still be saved
Buildings endure but they really aren’t indestructible and in recent years we have lost to thoughtless development some treasures.

William L. Pereira’s Geisel Library in the heart of the UC San Diego campus. The building is a great brutalist hulk, a futurist space ship permanently moored on the West Coast. Standing beneath it armed with an iPhone, filming - just bliss. #architecture #brutalism #brutalismus #architecturephotography
