Glorious morning in Rottingdean.

Thanks to @themodernist.bsky.social x BDP for the invitation to talk about Modernist architects at the BBC this evening. Arrow was originally at Preston Bus Station.

Last chance to book my talk for the modernist society! the-modernist.org/products/the...

Beautiful on the prom this morning.

Very much enjoyed the #JamesMcNeillWhistler show at Tate Britain - some great work on display & pleasingly inclusive approach to his female collaborators & partners in the curation.

Thank you to everyone who came in person or online to my @c20society.bsky.social talk about #PalaceoftheEther yesterday evening & especially to @samiraahmeduk.bsky.social for her brilliant questions which allowed a great discussion. www.lundhumphries.com/products/pal...

In Hove, actually.

Event alert! I’ve co-organised this free one-day sumposium that explores the figure of the architect-planner - 4.9.26 - book here: www.sahgb.org.uk/whatson/arch...

Architect-Planners: Transnational and global perspectives - SAHGBExternal Event supported by SAHGB. Exploring the architect-planner across global contexts, this symposium examines the intersections of architecture, planning and urban change.www.sahgb.org.uk

It was great to sit down with someone as knowledgable as Paul to discuss #PalaceoftheEther & all things Broadcasting House.

Delighted to be joining @themodernist.bsky.social for one of their xBDP talks on 23 July. I’ll be talking about modernist architects at the BBC. Tickets here: the-modernist.org/products/the...

Very much looking forward to discussing Palace of the Ether with Samira Ahmed on Friday @c20society.bsky.social - hopefully not so Scorchio then! Think there is still time to get a ticket - it’s hybrid! secure.c20society.org.uk/Default.aspx...

Thanks to Karen Burns & Lori Brown for convening an excellent panel this evening to discuss the Global Encyclopaedia. Was pleased to have contributed. 360 authors were involved in the book - a great achievement. A must buy for libraries & architectural practices.

Making space for news/talks was a key part of the commission for Broadcasting House; Wells Coates’s News Studios a sublime expression of their importance. So it was a real pleasure to be on R4’s World Tonight talking about my book Palace of the Ether www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/... (@ 29 mins)

The mighty Bruce Mitchell at this evening’s “For Vini”. Not going to lie. I got a bit emotional. This was a really special evening. So glad i was there having got the last ticket! @durutticolumn.bsky.social

At the Purcell Rooms to see “For Vini” (and the mushroom columns - homage to the Pioneer Health Centre of course - & the funky doors & other detailing). Quite excited.

As I point out in my new book, built into Broadcasting House was Hilda Matheson’s advocacy for increased news & talks programmes in order that radio fulfil its potential to create an informed citizenry. 4th floor had a news suite & on 3rd & 8th floors there were studios for talks & discussions. /

Palace of the Ether is out (and about). Thanks to the team @lhartbooks.bsky.social for producing such a lovely artefact & to the many archivists, librarians, colleagues and friends who got me to this point.

The Bloomsbury Global Enclyopaedia was one of the books I featured in my WHM list of books by women architectural historians. On 22nd June, I’ll be on a panel to discuss its publication. Detail here: www.ucl.ac.uk/bartlett/eve...

& Marjory Allen “landscaped” the exterior.

Adding to this feature in the new @c20society.bsky.social magazine, that listing is also for social value. Given the current full-blown onslaught against culture/the humanities let’s celebrate SBAC as a vision of state support for culture & architecture. See also. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....
