In Faro with Richard Walker leading @c20society trip on the roof of @themodernist hotel with owner Chris organiser of Faro Modernist weekend— running for 3rd time this year
Great to be at Palace of Westminster with @c20society this week. Helping to launch vital report by Purcell on Listed Buildings with RAAC & making case for VAT cut on building repair! More RAAC discussion at my Conservation of Historic Concrete course @westdeancollege in July
Inspiring day with @hughpearman interviewing potential new @C20Society trustees, had perfect lunchtime break— walked to see Ibrahim Mahama
wrapping of @BarbicanCentre billowing in a warm breeze
Love that @MailOnline is featuring Thaddeus Zupanic’s fab book— big interview with him in next C20 magazine and talk in October https://t.co/KBLz86y5Rt
At Embassy Court Brighton by #Wellscoates. Amazing views out those corner windows, but taking a pounding from salt spray—tough location for a II* concrete building experimental in its day!
At @Tate Britain for launch of Keith Piper’s video response to Whistler’s restaurant mural— slightly underwhelming, installation needs gap between showings with Whistler illuminated— point is that this it is a significant artwork which is why the racist content needs addressing
📻Tune in to @BBCFrontRow this evening from 19:15 to hear C20 Director @catherinecroft discuss contemporary attitudes to brutalism, and the proposed new Museum of Brutalist Architecture.

At Henry Moore Institute Leeds to interview Dorian Crone, son of artist Egon Altdorf about his father’s work tonight— amazing woodcuts as well as welded iron sculptures
My review of @royalacademy Herzog de Meuron exhibition in October issue of @BurlingtonMag https://t.co/aD3vCL6M8m — my conclusion? meaty, inspiring content, but not very accessible. Should architects be curating their own work?
