Learning from… Tokyo
In this lecture entitled Tokyo Nine Flux, Yoshiharu Tsukamoto interprets urban space in Tokyo as a causal chain of responses to flux – natural phenomena such as earthquakes and typhoons that pose a constant threat to the city, and increases in population, traffic and waste. Yoshiharu Tsukamoto is co-founder, with Momoyo Kaijima, of the architectural studio Atelier(...)

Elevations, plans and a section for three lamps, probably for Electric House, Battersea Borough
DR1988:0384
Description:
- This reprographic copy shows three lighting fixtures: one lamp and two pendant light fixtures suspended from the ceiling by bronze chains. The designs are probably for Electric House; the CCA collection contains similar designs for showroom light fixtures for Electric House, DR1988:0386 and DR1988:0396, which, like this print, are signed by the Borough Surveyor. - This work is part of an incomplete group of possibly working reprographic copies for Electric House, Battersea Borough, designed by the borough architect, Henry Hyams. The group also includes some reprographic copies which may have been used for publication purposes. - The style of many of these drawings and reprographic copies by Henry Hyams (DR1988:0332 - DR1988:0414) suggests that they were possibly for periodical illustrations. Hyams contributed articles to the periodicals 'The Builder' and 'The Architect'. Two objects in the CCA collections can be directly linked to an article published prior to 1926 in 'The Architect'; a reprographic copy (DR1988:0357) and a drawing (DR1988:0364) (Who's Who in Architecture, 161).
