And to another book launch at the AA; Claire Jamieson's treatment of the architectural group NATØ, a fitting venue given its beginnings 30 years ago in Bedford Square - although it is a notorious fact that the group were failed as a whole by the school...

Like the book, the brief speeches set the context and the room was busy with a crowd split roughly by those had been there, and those taught by them, myself included.
Thatcher’s Britain; a city in decline. For brevity I enjoyed Robert Mull’s comparison of then and now:

A city decimated by deprivation.
A city decimated by corpulence.
