My photobook â(Almost) Every Building on Bethnal Green Roadâ 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 .
â(Almost) Every Building on Bethnal Green Roadâ 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.

Historic England đŽó §ó ąó „ó źó §ó ż Just a couple of Wolverhamptonâs legendary Grade II-listed heritage buildings:
1) University of Wolverhampton School of Art: a Brutalist building built in the 1960s, now home to the universityâs 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, attorneyâs office, bakery, post office, restaurant, toy store and cafe.

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 âResilience: Ice Huts and Root Cellars (2007-2021),â the late architectural photographer Richard Johnson brings architectural seriousness to this overlooked typology, capturing a distinctively Canadian negotiation between climate, landscape and building.

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 Oaxacaâs public life and give the city its distinct urban character. đœ
