Blurring The Line Between The Built & Unbuilt: Recently I was interviewed by online drawing archive KooZA/rch about my aesthetic influences, drawing process and my current work on Architecture and Film at the University of Westminster. https://t.co/TuqMjSJZsj
☀️ Happy Summer Solstice from Stonehenge and Ratcliffe-on-Soar.
Neolithic megaliths and their modernist counterpoints looming over the surrounding landscape, as captured by two of the great photographers of the 20th century.

I'm not happy that Starmer gets to resign, mostly avoid the Commons until the next election, resign as MP, go back to working for Mishcon De Reya, enjoy his PM & legally protected DPP pensions, does a lecture tour or whatever, and will never ever face accountability for Gaza.
A painting by Claude Grahame Muncaster (1903-1974) of the Bradwell nuclear power station, presented to TUC General Secretary Lord Citrine to celebrate the start of groundwork on the site in January 1957.
@dominicboyle@Curious_Chak@lewis_goodall the Labour Party under Starmer will abandon its core idealism & principles and it won't even gain tactical advantage. It will be a party which gives no one a reason to vote for it, and no one will, in fact, vote for it.
In Memory of Hadrian 📖
Marguerite Yourcenar evokes her fascination with the Roman emperor Hadrian. Accompanied by images of the wall he built in northern England and of statues from the British Museum, she speaks of a humanist, cultured, and peace-making emperor, with “behind him all that Greek culture to which he was devoted.”
The turf is the least of it. Your MDF cabinets. Your particleboard shelving. Your plywood subfloor. Your LVP flooring. Your composite trim. Your underlayment adhesive.
Lovely JG Ballard-esque world where Ally P is all that remains of a future London overtaken by rampant climate change. Each day the tide recedes to reveal the drowned ruins of the Crouch End Waitrose where survivors scavenge for old world treasures (tinned Portuguese anchovies)
I love how Corbyn is in the Epstein files, but only because it’s just all the billionaire nonces going ‘under no circumstances can we let Corbyn be PM’
