I went to the Tropical Modernism exhibition at the @V_and_A. This is a great review by @edwinheathcote which really gets across what it is about and why it’s worth a visit

I think the Tropical Modernism at the V&A show terrific, so many fascinating buildings and a revelatory exercise in uncovering the Ghanaian & Indian architects who used architectural Modernism in nationalist programmes. Go!

V&A. Serious and interesting overview of tropical modernism. But it needs an hour on its own and I'm flagging.
