CONCRETE CONTRIBUTIONS

GreyScape is the place for the Concrete Community to share photo essays, great pictures their ideas. Here are the guidelines for submitting posts and by sending us a submission you agree all these points, so please read them carefully.

Send your submission by email to info@greyscape.com. Pictures are fundamentally important to what we’re doing so please send us good quality photos in jpeg format, minimum 3000 pixels on the shortest side. And we welcome your text alongside the photos, your thoughts and ideas and commentary. Do add movies and drawings and plans. Don’t feel that your piece has to be like others we put up on the site, express yourself. We may, of course, edit what you send us and very, very importantly you must comply with our copyright rules.

We can’t promise if or when a submission will be posted to the site but we will be keener to do so if you are only sending the project to us. We shall keep in touch with you by email.

It is important for us that we give credit to everyone who has contributed to something we publish so please send us all the names of people who have been involved. We don’t pay for anything submitted to us.

If and when we publish your submission expect us to post it or an extract on Twitter or other social and mobile media. As we said we may edit your work. Out of all this we hope to get people interested and excited, stimulated by your ideas and commenting, responding to your work with their views. Please do send us your own responses to comments. As we are the Concrete Community we shall moderate comments but we aren’t responsible for any comments. Please do send us your responses to comments that people make.

We shall be relying on you to ensure that the photographs and text you send us is your property, your intellectual property and that you own the copyright and are legally entitled to send us the material and permit us to publish it. If someone challenges this then we may remove the material. This is important because if we suffer a loss because we’ve posted something that you don’t own or have the right to let us post, you are responsible for compensating us. If you have any doubt about your rights to send us material, you should take legal advice.

We will do our best not to publish anything factually inaccurate, defamatory, abusive, obscene or in any other way we judge inappropriate. You are responsible if anything you submit is any of these things.

Let’s start talking about architect Ernö Goldfinge Let’s start talking about architect Ernö Goldfinger, this is one of his ‘ greats’, Trellick Tower (add in Balfron and Willow Road,  but that would be ignoring the varied and amazing career of a man who transcended one world to become fully entrenched in another. 

An architect, furniture and toy designer, he was born in Budapest to a family in the lumber business which led to Ernö spending his early years deep in the heart of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in Szaszregen, Transylvania in the Carpathian Mountains and in the Austrian Alps. When he was ten, Ernö was brought back to Budapest to be educated and later continued his studies in Vienna. 

By the time he’d finished school, the Empire had collapsed, the family had moved to Vienna, there was an assumption he would study engineering and remain close to home. 

Paris 

Instead, he headed to Paris in 1920 to study at the École des Beaux-Arts. He hung out with the best, Man Ray, Lee Miller, Max Ernst and more, visiting every important exhibition, including the 1925 Exposition. Goldfinger entered design competitions, ingested the Parisienne cultural vibe and revelled in the best of the city during les années folles; it was here that his political views became fully formed or perhaps another way of thinking of it, Paris was the place where he publicly defined himself as communist, at least in name …..

Like so many cinemas it experienced highs and lows, by 1985 it was closed, opening again a decade later, only to close down in 2016 - somewhat dramatically, showing on its final evening The Last Picture Show. However, the really good news is that a 2020 renovation saw it reinvented as a live music venue. What’s not clear is how much of the original interior was saved.
