Regeneration @ToynbeeHall
Have been working up a maquette of a book for the Toynbee Hall Regeneration project. Early days yet – I am less than half way through. I want to open a dialogue with the team at Toynbee Hall on how we might present the work in the long run. Preview is on blurb.com… Regeneration @ToynbeeHall […]

East End Transformations (after Marville) – Latest Edit
June 10, 2016
In the background I have been fitting in some more photography of East London and the transformation taking place through redevelopment.

After Marville…East End Transformations
February 10, 2016

Subconsciously this issue must have been bothering me […]
Blueprint or Capitalist Enclave
July 31, 2015
“London Docklands proved to be a highly controversial example of urban regeneration, polarising opinion between those who pointed to a blueprint for successful free market inner city regeneration…and those who viewed it as the architectural embodiment of Thatcherism including fortified capitalist enclaves.” Andrew Tallon (2013) Urban Regeneration in the UK (New York: Routledge) This […]
