Not Wembley specifically, but I found some very useful information for one project in back issues of the Association of Jewish Refugees AJR Journal. Otherwise the AJR might be able to point you to material for Wembley. Search the AJR Journal here: ajr.org.uk/journal/

As these negotiations led to nothing--*and* I learned in the process that the proceeds would benefit a Nazi-era perpetrator's family--my publisher, Cabinet Books, and I have decided to leave the page blank in a protest of sorts. Very pleased w/ how it turned out & glad to have such support

Gestern war der 20. Todestag von Anna Politkowskaja. Damals habe ich ein Bild von ihr aus einer Zeitschrift ausgerissen und an mein Buchregal gehängt, weil ich so fassungslos war und sie nicht vergessen wollte. Ich wäre heute immer noch sehr traurig und wütend, aber nicht mehr fassungslos.

🇨🇭🎨 A View of Geneva, Switzerland In 1854, #Ruskin sketched this corner of Geneva with just a few washes of colour and a remarkable eye for architectural detail. During that trip he also visited Interlaken, Thun, Lucerne, Chamonix, Lausanne & Fribourg. #Watercolour #ArtHistory

Watercolour, pencil and ink drawing by John Ruskin showing a quiet urban view in Geneva, Switzerland. A group of closely packed historic buildings occupies the centre of the composition, featuring pale stone walls, pitched roofs and several small towers and chimneys. The architecture is rendered with fine pen lines and soft washes of cream, beige and grey, while touches of blue surround the upper buildings, suggesting distant landscape or sky. The foreground is lightly sketched with minimal detail, drawing attention to the clustered structures. Ruskin's precise observation of architectural forms contrasts with the atmospheric, unfinished edges of the scene. Signed and dated "Geneva/JR.1854" at lower right. Medium: pencil, pen and black ink with watercolour, heightened with white. Dimensions: 16.5 × 22.9 cm.

Vaguely reminiscent of when Tom Monaghan had his collection of FLW objects at Domino's Farms near Ann Arbor and had Gunnar Birkerts design the whole campus in Prairie Style. Same decade too. Even operated a FLW museum there for a while. www.dwell.com/article/fran...

We went and found the Lego sukkah. It’s in Oak Park, MI, and it was built by Menachem R., with help from his nieces and nephews. During the Jewish holiday of Sukkot, you build a booth and eat meals outside in it. They’re usually made of wood but he got funky with this one!

Twilight photo of a colorful sukkah built out of giant Lego blocks of every color, with a wooden roof with branches across the top. It has an open weave pattern of blocks, with larger openings at the top.
There is a door on one side. It sits in the driveway of a suburban yard.
