My photobook ‘(Almost) Every Building on Bethnal Green Road’ will available for purchase at A Bigger Book Fair as part of the @peckham24photo festival, showcased alongside a selection of self-published architectural photobooks and zines curated by @garethgardner_gallery . ‘(Almost) Every Building on Bethnal Green Road’ documents the transformation of the East London street from 2008 to 2024. Using Google Street View, the project examines how the architectural image and our perception of the built environment is continually documented and remade through the algorithmic vision of contemporary technology. [DM me for details if you’d like a copy.] 15-17 May Copeland Park 133 Copeland Road SE15 3SN Peckham, London /a-bigger-book-fair #googlestreetview #bethnalgreen #peckham24 #documentingbritain

Historic England đŸŽó §ó ąó „ó źó §ó ż Just a couple of Wolverhampton’s legendary Grade II-listed heritage buildings: 1) University of Wolverhampton School of Art: a Brutalist building built in the 1960s, now home to the university’s School of Creative Industries. 2) 19 Victoria Street: since its construction in the early 1600s, this timber-framed building has been the site of a pub, attorney’s office, bakery, post office, restaurant, toy store and cafe. #documentingbritain #thisisengland

Ice fishing huts occupy an iconic yet ambiguous place in Canadian architectural culture. Although often treated as marginal or picturesque, these forms of temporary infrastructure carry the visual language of a vernacular folk art tradition. In the new book ‘Resilience: Ice Huts and Root Cellars (2007-2021),’ the late architectural photographer Richard Johnson brings architectural seriousness to this overlooked typology, capturing a distinctively Canadian negotiation between climate, landscape and building. Read my review in the latest issue of @canadianarchitect magazine: /canadas-ice-huts All photos by @richardjohnson_studio (The last photo, the panorama of the ‘ice hut village,’ is from my hometown Renforth, New Brunswick.)

My photo essay on the architecture of street food in #Oaxaca, Mexico, is featured in the latest issue of @desiredlandscapes , a magazine exploring the sense of place through visual culture. From hand-pushed carts and kiosks selling snacks like elotes and esquites to market stalls grilling chorizo and preparing tlayudas, I look at the vernacular culinary infrastructure that shape Oaxaca’s public life and give the city its distinct urban character. đŸŒœ Available at: @magculture and @aaschool (London) @issuesmagshop (Toronto) @canadiancentreforarchitecture (Montreal) @prologcoffee.cph (Copenhagen) @hyper.hypo.athens and Desired Landscapes shop (Athens) and online: /products/issue-08 Cover photo by @giorgos_vitsaropoulos_photo
