At the beautiful Walthamstow Library for some business training...such a stunner! Built between 1907 and 1909 by J W Dunford. As the first images states, the building is 'dedicated to knowledge'.

Nice to see the new digital rail clock marking 200 years of railways in Britain. Designed by Design Bridge and Partners, the two railway arrow heads rotate as a second hand.

Whole day yesterday taking Technical University of Munich MA and PhD students round Canary Wharf. Great students and interesting discussions comparing German and UK examples of development. Using tours as a walking lecture is a great way to learn and foster discussion.

Passing through my local Elizabeth line station. Designed by Weston Williamson + Partners, the building references the area's military ties. Here, the columns have tiled strips representing the colours of the Royal Artillery and the Royal Engineers, both once based at Woolwich

Going off on tangents today whilst teaching @westdeansoc about the Aesthetic Movement, we spoke about Oscar Wilde's plaque at Clapham Junction station. This plaque remembers him waiting here on his way to Reading Gaol, handcuffed and in prison uniform, being jeered at and spat at by the crowds.

Great to be invited to the multidisciplinary Healthy Homes Research Workshop as part of Essex's Health Determinants Research Collaboration at the beautiful Hylands House. So much to think about in terms of a historical perspective. Organised by Jack Head.

The 'Do Ho Suh: Walk the House' exhibition gave me so much food for thought when researching, and teaching, about home and housing. Using the Korean phrase 'walk the house' to investigate ideas of how we carry places within us. The artist's film 'Robin Hood Gardens' also features in the exhibition.

One of the advantages of working @wimbledonual.bsky.social is getting to know the lovely Wimbledon Chase area. Really interesting Victorian and Edwardian homes. The house in the last image has a dragon on top of the roof.
