Todays architecture is the wonderful BedZed (Beddington Zero) in Hackbridge. Built in the early 2000's and intended to be the first large community to have zero carbon emissions. It had some failures but many successes and has stood the test of time fairly well. #BedZed #carbonNeutral #Architecture

My love of Brutalist architecture led me to produce a guided walk for the recent London Open House Festival. The Open City Architectural charity have only gone and published it as part of their pocket London series of tours....

I have an obsession with photographing staircases. Here's one of many I've taken. Maybe we need a dedicated staircase page? The Courtauld Gallery, London
