Modernist architecture in art: The wedding of Ruth Williams and Seretse Khama, painted by Kerry James Marshall at the Royal Academy. In the background, the National Assembly Building in Gaborone, Botswana. Does anyone know who the architect was?

@opencity-uk.bsky.social Hi here is some feedback. I said to my son they ought to have the address on this page. He replied it is here. It is, but why use such a small font size? There is loads of room on the page. Larger text would be appreciated by many.

Tell me it's @opencity-uk.bsky.social Open House London week without telling me it's Open House London week....

Walked 100km on walks and visits so far, before my volunteering shifts today and tomorrow.

Still lots of places you can visit this weekend without a booking
