Maths was never my strong point but the 72hr Flash Sale is still on & my copies have arrived already! Big up to Stefi @modernistestates.bsky.social - another super edition in the Richmond to Ham guide, I still want to build a Span estate. Bring back reissues for housing projects & not just records.
Thank you Simon!
72hr Flash Sale @modernistestates.bsky.social - just picked up some older Perambulations walking guides & the new (not in the sale, but still a bargain) Richmond to Ham edition, a route I walked & cycled a lot in olden days, but can now peer more closely at the architecture. thingsyoucanbuy.co.uk
Thank You!
New t shirt just dropped from @modernistestates.bsky.social

I endorse this @modernistestates.bsky.social message
As a fan of architecture I have followed some of the other walking routes by @modernistestates.bsky.social and now that we're getting a local one for Richmond and Ham I'll be getting that one too!

Long shot.
The Riba library is shut (refurb)
I'm looking for a copy of the Architects

Can anyone help me?!
Thank you
I went to see the new film/documentary about Eileen Gray and her E.1027 house. I wrote about it here: www.modernistestates.com/journal/e-1027
Read about my ‘accidental’ purchase of vintage David Mellor cutlery, and the time I stole a spoon 😬. www.modernistestates.com/journal/davi...

Need a bit of reading time over the weekend with this fabulous new arrival, a comprehensive study of the Barbican Estate by Stefi Orazi @modernistestates.bsky.social.

As we head into the holiday season, please remember that small businesses are run by humans & have feelings to match.
A reminder that these t-shirts are still available (they’re print on demand, so I’ll keep doing them until the housing crisis is fixed 🤪) All proceeds are donated to Shelter

I remember these so well from living in Lewes as a child having no idea that thats where I’d be living when I moved to London :)
I bought a very good book in Milan. Yet to devour.
