New York: Spaces

Posted on July 22, 2017 by julianstodd

New York is one of my favourite cities: disjointed, divided, crowded and perpetually changing. The architecture is massive: not brutalist, but simply prevalent. There is more architecture than air in Manhattan. Layers of it, from the monumental to the prosaic, … Continue reading →

Edgelands

Posted on February 6, 2015 by julianstodd
