Happy New Year!

Happy New Year to all the Architecture Built Environment staff and students, I hope you all have had a good break.

I have added recent titles that I have bought for the library to LibraryThing and these should appear in the application on this blog entitled 'New books in the library' click on a title that interests you for more information on it - these are all listed also in Libray Search.

If you need any assistance with library related issues feel free to get in touch mirese@wmin.ac.uk

Cook's Camden

There is an exhibition at the Building Centre on 26 Store Street running till the 27th November of Sydney Cook's work.

Cook's Camden looks at the housing projects and urban landscape that were built whilst Sydney Cook was the borough's architect. Great examples of social housing developments and designs can be viewed including photographs of completed plans and models, and continue to be an inspiration today.

Interestingly the exhibition has been curated based on research being carried out at Oxford Brookes University on discourses between space and society.
