To celebrate the launch of Walter Gropius: An Illustrated Biography, @IsokonPlus has recreated the long lost 1936 occasional table designed by the founder of the #Bauhaus whilst he lived in London. #Modernist #architect #design @phaidonpress

This genius book just arrived from my very kind friend @elkadavies. Written in 1960 by Philip Harben, the first TV chef (and Isokon resident), it tells you how to cook ANYTHING from “a simple rasher of bacon to a good sponge cake or loaf of bread” in a frying pan! Thank you Lisa.

I'm overjoyed Harlech's magnificently peculiar brutalist Theatr Ardudwy (by Colwyn Foulkes & Partners, 1973)- which has been empty & derelict since 2016, despite listing - is reopening this summer. It is a fabulous building.

Some little Agatha snippets from the @agathachristie exhibition at the @IsokonGallery but I don't want to give too much away. Head there and take a look! Well worth a trip to beautiful #BelsizePark and lovely to see @AmberButchart & @TinaWalksLondon
Thank you for the kind comments Eoin.
ISOKON & the Bauhaus in Britain by @LDaybelge & Magnus Englund is an absolutely exquisite book. A fantastic story about an incredible building filled with creativity & experimentation. Contemporary public housing could learn some lessons from the Lawn Road flats. @BatsfordBooks

@AgathaFestival this year includes a film on @IsokonGallery, where Christie lived in World War 2 - praised by expert John Curran as “a perfect appetite-whetter for the Isokon’s March 2021 exhibition on a little known aspect of Agatha Christie’s life” - youtu.be/LmN6tek7tXQ
