Architecture
This month in architecture we have a discussion in Domus on Brutalism
and post-punk, a connection I wouldn’t have made myself, even though I am a
fan of both. There is some more news on Modernist architecture in The Guardian on the post-war architecture
of Derby’s
Assembly Rooms (and the hope to save them from the bulldozers), and another
general discussion on Brutalist
architecture which includes useful links to other sources.
Images and Films
The Guardian has an
article on somebody who (probably doesn’t even realise he is a
psychogeographer) and photographs social distancing signs.
This artists fills potholes and manhole covers in beautiful
mosaics and this photographer takes images of America by streetlight.
The last one in this section is a super 3 min film of an urban
commute by Hiroshi Kondo.
Walking and
Psychogeography
Here you can read about the proposed
green walks in London. This article will provide you with ten Great British
walking
trails and here is an article about getting
lost in a new place.
Outside of the UK
And finally, an article on walking around Menorca during lockdown and a very good article on the Swedish architect Sigurd Lerewentz in The Wallpaper.
