Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shoreditch, including neighbouring Hoxton, has a fascinating history, and contains a magnificent variety of buildings. Many have been turned into workspaces, apartments, arts centres, antiques emporiums, restaurants, markets and museums, including the Museum of the Home (formerly the Geffrye Museum) which occupies 18th century almshouses, and the Old Truman Brewery complex which today is filled with a vintage market and food stalls. Round the corner, the Victorian Spitalfields Market still thrives albeit no longer as a fruit and veg market, but as a dining and retail shopping area and in Brick Lane there is the Jam Masjid Mosque, that started life as a church, became a synagogue and is now a focal point for many Muslims living in the area. Shoreditch is not only home to the very first London council estate - Boundary Estate - but is als a major centre of industry and commerce and many new structures are appearing.In addition to their architectural merits many of the buildings have a story to tell whether it is a connection with Jack the Ripper or the lives of refugees and immigrants who have always lived in Shoreditch's streets - Huguenot weavers, Jews escaping persecution in Eastern Europe and more recently, the Bangladeshi community - as well as East End Londoners. Shoreditch and Hoxton are furthermore associated with entertainment dating back to Elizabethan London's theatres and filled today with bars, dining, cafes, clubs and galleries.Shoreditch and Hoxton in 50 Buildings explores the history of this fascinating area of East London through a selection of its most interesting buildings and structures, showing the changes that have taken place over the years. The book will appeal to all those who live in Shoreditch and Hoxton or who have an interest in the area.

Download or read book Nick Eldridge written by Dominic Bradbury and published by . This book was released on 2022-09-15 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since launching his practice in 2001 with The Lawns, which was shortlisted for the Stirling Prize, Nick Eldridge has become renowned for his beautiful bespoke houses. This book provides a wide-ranging survey of his key projects up to the present day including the Manser Medal-winning house, Greenways in Coombe Park. Eldridge is an architectural storyteller: thoughtfully responding to different landscapes, settings, histories, and clients, each house explores fresh narratives, while at the same time, being connected by strong threads to a cohesive body of work. Throughout the book Eldridge's work explores and experiments: his houses feel fresh and different, lifted by an innovative approach to tectonic engineering and form fused with a passion for artisanal interiors, fine detailing, and characterful materials. They show the architect's varied influences: from Arts & Crafts and mid-century modern through to hi-tech design. The projects analysed in the book are broadly divided into two main sections: new build projects, and highly imaginative, responsive adaptations, extensions, and reinventions of existing buildings.

Download or read book London Boroughs at 50 written by Tony Travers and published by Biteback Publishing. This book was released on 2015-11-24 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is the year 1965. Mary Quant introduces the miniskirt to society in her shop in Chelsea; the Dalek-style Post Office Tower is opened; and the Beatles play their last ever live UK tour date. Most importantly, on 1 April, a new system of city government is introduced and London's thirty-two boroughs are born, revolutionising the capital into the place we know today.New names had to be chosen, councillors elected and policies formed; these boroughs and the Greater London Council between them took control of housing, roads, planning, schools and social services. Half a century on and, though the GLC was abolished in 1986, the boroughs live on, now working alongside a new metropolitan government headed by mayors Ken Livingstone and, since 2008, Boris Johnson.In London's Boroughs at 50, Tony Travers examines the governing system that developed alongside the growing metropolis and, by identifying the unique path each has taken over the years, tells the fascinating story of how our remarkably diverse boroughs have not only survived, but actively shaped both the city and the lives of its inhabitants in their impressive fifty-year history.
