Seddon House is named for George Seddon, whose Aldersgate Street furniture business employed over 400 people. His 2-acre site included London House, formerly the Bishop of London’s residence. Customers bought furniture, curtains and carpets, from simple pieces to luxury designs.
Fascinating film about modernist structural engineer, Paul Weidlinger, creator of skyscrapers, churches, museums, embassies, and monumental sculptures by Picasso, Noguchi, and Dubuffet. Early in his career, he broke from mainstream modernism with his concept of the “Joy of Space”
"The Restless Hungarian is a riveting personal documentary. Tom Weidlinger explores his family’s legacy of brilliance as well as trauma, unearthing private secrets that have universal resonance. It’s a compelling addition to the growing sub-genre of Holocaust cinema that focuses on adults who discover their Jewish ancestry – once hidden because of the Holocaust – late in life." (Annette Insdorf, film scholar)
Watch the film in our free online screening (until 6/25) and join the conversation with Tom Weidlinger (6/24) - registration: fritzaschersociety.org/exhib….

We were looking for an excuse to see all the fabulous architecture in Budapest. This is the best excuse ever!!!
Harry Seidler’s 1977 Mushroom building at MLC Plaza. Seidler’s “city within a city” received awards, but public reaction was mixed, shaped by the loss of historic Sydney landmarks.

From the Mock-Tudor via 1930s Streamline Moderne to post-war Britain, each era has produced a distinct automotive architecture. Philip Butler’s 226 Garages and Service Stations captures the charm of these survivors of the petrol age. Greyscape price £21.00

Totally with @C20Society on this - filmed in Space House - stellar choice
It was an honour to be asked to flip this by our brother @fredagainagain1 "Beto's Horns" from @ca7rielypaco the Ezra Collective Remix out everywhere.
Hope you’ve all been vibing to it since it dropped - and now you can check the video too:

Who needs dippy WiFi when everything is available in a pocket-sized folding map which can be reimagined as a poster. Its near A2 size when it is open and near A5 folded, with a wide band to slot over it to protect it.
