It has been a month of discoveries. Architect Eddie Blake (2) delved into the storefront mosques of Tower Hamlets, finding in them ‘powerful and unselfconscious architectural expression’. Charting urban interventions in Beirut, Crystal Bennes (1) couldn’t pass up the chance to visit Niemeyer’s unfinished exhibition centre in Tripoli. ‘The buildings,’ she says, ‘were in better condition than expected, the gardens immaculate, and the acoustics in the dome unreal.’ Encountering Erez Nevi Pana’s work led Anna Winston (3) to uncover a raft of vegan designers, whose beliefs breed ‘a particularly passionate and experimental way of working’. Lia Forslund (5) contemplated the Emeco Navy chair from a Swiss mountaintop near the hydroelectric power plant at Safiental, where she realised the post-war values of longevity and engineering formed a consensus. And ‘in an age of hyper-connectivity and post-truth politics’, learnt Alice Bucknell (4) while writing on magazine culture, ‘print influences, inspires and binds together its authors and readers’.
