Event details
"Calder's brilliant book [...arises from] a truly astonishing depth and breadth of research [...and] develops a new frame for architectural writing which frankly makes some of the previous architectural histories look at best parochial, or at worst irrelevant in the face of the global climate crisis."
Jeremy Till, Buildings and Cities
"Through this prism, our time of crisis suddenly makes so much sense."
