Summary:
A walk along any London street takes you past a wealth of seemingly ordinary buildings: an Edwardian church, modernist postwar council housing, stuccoed Italianate terraces, a Bauhaus-inspired library. But these buildings are not just functional. They are evidence of London’s rich and diverse history and have shaped people’s experiences, identities, and relationships. In(...)

Summary:
A walk along any London street takes you past a wealth of seemingly ordinary buildings: an Edwardian church, modernist postwar council housing, stuccoed Italianate terraces, a Bauhaus-inspired library. But these buildings are not just functional. They are evidence of London’s rich and diverse history and have shaped people’s experiences, identities, and relationships. In this engaging study, Paul L. Knox traces the history of London from the Georgian era to the present day through twenty-five surviving buildings. Knox explores where people lived and worked, from grand Regency squares to Victorian workshops, and highlights the impact of migration, gentrification, and inequality. We see famous buildings, like Harrods and Abbey Road Studios, and everyday places like Rochelle Street School and Thamesmead. Each historical period has introduced new buildings, and old ones have been repurposed. As Knox shows, it is the living history of these buildings that makes up the vibrant, but exceptionally unequal, city of today.

Summary:
Architect Frida Escobedo’s (b. 1979) designs for public spaces have received global accolades. In 2022, she was commissioned to design the new Oscar L. Tang and H.M. Agnes Hsu-Tang Wing for Modern and Contemporary Art at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. Suspended Moment is the first overall survey of her career to-date including her award-winning structures that treat space as a language—layered, responsive, and reflective of both a site’s history and its present. This timely profile of the first woman to design a wing at the Museum explores Escobedo’s attention to gender, accessibility, and the environment. Focusing on both temporary and permanent structures in the context of her burgeoning career, the publication delves into Escobedo’s two-decade multimedia practice. Interviews with the architect alongside informed essays discuss the bases of her work and her diverse inspirations, ranging from concrete poetry to her hometown of Mexico City, which she describes as a "modern metropolis with ancient roots . . . in other words, a living, breathing museum."

The volume is accompanied by a poem in which Tracey Emin (b. 1963) expresses her personal connection with Turner’s work. Emin grew up in Margate, the seaside town that Turner returned to time and again to draw.
