Feeling very sad that this beautiful building in Hackney is no longer an active primary school, reflecting a decline in pupil numbers in inner London.

The latest open day at the London School of Architecture was last night. It was great to see some study/precedent models emerging, taught by Hugh Strange - in particular this lovely pink fragment of Webb’s Red House.

Before the elaborate folds and crinkles of the Guggenheim et al dominated his office's work, there were decades of work by a relentlessly playful and experimental architect, forever improvising and testing. Thanks Frank Gehry.

Monochrome photograph of a white building with a conspicuously flat facade, almost like a stageset. The words World Savings are written as signage on the front of the building.

I thoroughly enjoyed last night’s event at the Architecture Foundation where we spoke and listened to/about oral history at the Art Workers Guild - a screen-free conversation about conversation & the practising of history. Thank you Mary Chamberlain & Jerry White, and my cohost Cristina Monteiro.

Found John I. Williams’ biography of CLR James both inspiring and enlightening. Like all good biographies it feels like a study of an era and a culture as much as of a single human. And who knew that much of The Black Jacobins was written in Portslade of all places?

My most recent short essay on the Spring Line is about the urgent need to conserve buildings which speak of Britain's history of self-build and plotland development. knightdavid.substack.com/p/handmade-h...

Sutton Hall (Isfield) Lock, 2024. Part of the c18-19 Sussex Ouse Navigation, which took boats north of Lewes from 1812 through to 1868. This lock was restored in the early 2000s by the Sussex Ouse Restoration Trust.
