How Brussels became the new Marseille https://t.co/izNK8pUfSL

[tim abrahams @timabrahams]

Perfectly imperfect. If you want to gauge the crisis at the heart of continental Europe's culture, then get thee to Brussels. First link to a great @dispatch__media overview. Second to a @machine_books produced podcast on Europe's most important new art museum being built there.

The main purpose of Anglo-Futurism is to reveal how conservatives today have no visual language of growth. Cornish villages on the moon is not “a thought experiment” but the daft place you find yourself in when as soon as you imagine a possibility you render it dead through an attempt to make it safe, knowable, legible.

In 2023 the FT published allegations about Sir David Adjaye's sexual relations with staff members. This month, the architect of the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History has three major new museums opening. For the first time, he responds to those allegations.

New Building of the National Museum, Prague, Czechia. 1974. Karel Prager, Jiří Kadeřábek and Jiří Albrecht.

Soviet architecture with Czech characteristics.

Looking at architecture through the binary perspective of the two camps, modernist vs. traditionalist, will never provide a satisfactory answer in my view, which I debated with my fellow panelists in this exciting discussion on @DohaDebates stage. Join us today! 👇🏻

Nairn had a strong strain of misanthropy to him. For someone who liked to drink himself stupid alone, he was remarkably intolerant of others who enjoyed to have a few in company.

Flag of the Bukharan People's Soviet Republic (1920-1924). A state born of an undertstandably shortlived alliance between Islamic reformists throwing of the yoke of an Emirate and the Bolsheviks.

Pablo Bronstein on the necessity of cynicism. https://t.co/IaobJK1ew5

Horatio West Court Apartments in Santa Monica by Irving Gill (1919). Why Gill isn't a more established part of the narrative of Modernism is a mystery to me.
