BRUTAL NORTH – POST-WAR MODERNIST ARCHITECTURE I

BRUTAL NORTH – POST-WAR MODERNIST ARCHITECTURE IN THE NORTH OF ENGLAND a long overdue deep dive, and in the capable hands of Simon Phipps @new_brutalism author of Brutal London it’s going to be a cracker. The book, Simon explains, ‘takes us on a journey from Newcastle’s Byker Wall Estate, ‘voted the best neighbourhood in the UK, to the extraordinary Park Hill Estate in Sheffield, from Preston’s sweeping bus station and Liverpool’s Royal Insurance Building, these structures have seen off threats to their survival and are rightly celebrated for the imprint they leave upon the skyline and the cultural life of their cities’. new_brutalism On pre-order now, LINK IN OUR BIO available from 29th October

Tadao Ando: Shiba Ryotaro Memorial Museum in Osaka

Tadao Ando: Shiba Ryotaro Memorial Museum in Osaka, Japan.
Post WW2 Japanese writer Shiba Ryotaro (1923- 1996) born Teiichi Fukuda, emerged as an important literary figure his words spoke to a nation at a time of enormous change. He was a tank driver during the war serving on the Soviet border in what was then called Manchuria. He acknowledged the profound impact that his wartime experiences had on his later writing. He is best known for fictional novels about the history of Japan and essays focusing on the history of the Japanese dynasties and topics such as the activities of the Samurai and Shogun, which translates as Sei-i Taishōgun, ‘Commander-in-Chief of the Expeditionary Force Against the Barbarians’. The centrepiece of the museum, located next to his family home, is the library home to the more than 20,000 books that the author collected in his lifetime.
