NEWS // C20 Society is supporting new plans by Ian Chalk Architects to restore and revitalize @TroxyLondon

Built 1931-33 to designs by George Coles - celebrated architect of the Golden Age of Cinema - the Grade II listed East End landmark was once the largest cinema in England.

The conservation-led scheme would see the sensitive repair of the cream faience façade, reinstate the double-height foyer, and reveal any surviving original finishes that have concealed behind later work.

Such a beautifully written and important piece. We need to promote such housing options as real solutions to many of our aging society's problems. https://t.co/TUEtFoX6Fm

This sounds idyllic, how does one find such Research Residencies?

[Alexandra Wilson @amwilson_opera]

New horizons beckon. I finish at Brookes on Thursday and on Friday I take up a 13-month fixed-term Research Residency at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, which will allow me a much-appreciated period in which to write, publish and consolidate future research plans.

I feel so relieved now.

Umberto Eco, who owned 50,000 books, had this to say about home libraries:

"It is foolish to think that you have to read all the books you buy, as it is foolish to criticize those who buy more books than they will ever be able to read. It would be like saying that you should use all the cutlery or glasses or screwdrivers or drill bits you bought before buying new ones.

"There are things in life that we need to always have plenty of supplies, even if we will only use a small portion.

"If, for example, we consider books as medicine, we understand that it is good to have many at home rather than a few: when you want to feel better, then you go to the 'medicine closet' and choose a book. Not a random one, but the right book for that moment. That's why you should always have a nutrition choice!

"Those who buy only one book, read only that one and then get rid of it. They simply apply the consumer mentality to books, that is, they consider them a consumer product, a good. Those who love books know that a book is anything but a commodity."

Thank you DOCOMOMO US for inviting me to speak on my new book at the National Symposium last week. It was a whirlwind of fabulous talks, tours and making new friends in a dazzling sun soaked modernist location. Perfect!
