Here Comes the Sun: architecture and public space in 20th century European culture

This first collaboration with photographer Larraine Worpole, examined how European architects, planners and social reformers tried to remake the city in the early 20th century in the image of a sunlit, ordered utopia. It concentrates on a whole new repertoire of building types including open-air museums, libraries, health centres, promenades, linear and sports parks, promenades and lidos.

“This beautifully produced book makes a host of thought-provoking links between private faces and public places. It will surely make you see familiar and forgotten architectural landmarks in a new light.” The Architect’s Journal

“This is one of those books you stroke lovingly. Open it, and there is page after page of beautiful photographs…this book combines history, society, politics, environment and place in a well-written and emotive text.”Town & Country Planning
