Architecture Foundation presents:
The Alternative Guide to the London Boroughs edited by Owen Hatherley
A conversation with Owen Hatherley and Fatema Ahmed | Tuesday 24th November, 17:30-18:30, Zoom
Encompassing everything from Brutalist Polish community centres to suburban garden cities, from pioneering modernist estates to ornate Victorian greenhouses, as seen through everything from grime videos to the films of Patrick Keiller, the Alternative Guide to the London Boroughs is a journey into the neighbourhoods, housing estates and public buildings of London’s rich urban landscape. The volume, edited by Owen Hatherley, compiles thirty-three essays by thirty-three writers; architects, activists, and Londoners, exploring famous and unheralded buildings, streets, estates and neighbourhoods across the thirty-three London boroughs.
Fatema Ahmed, who wrote the chapter on Barnet is deputy editor at Apollo magazine and New Humanist’s lead fiction writer. In this conversation between Owen Hatherley and Fatema Ahmed, they explore buildings, places and landscapes that make London special.
