Hello, I’m Christopher

I don’t know Billy Ocean / I don’t know the ocean floor /
I don’t own any albums / I don’t know anything / I don’t go to college anymore

  • Dispatches from Helsinki

    One of my absolute favourite cities


  • Oxford

    Thanks so much to everyone who came out to hear me and James Graham talk about ‘artivism’ at Oxford University this week. It was wonderful to see so many people there and hear such great questions. And a brilliantly organised event by The Isis Magazine too.


  • Trainspotting in Sydney!

    Trainspotters will love Sydney. Here’s why. Some words I wrote for The Telegraph.


  • Artivism in Oxford

    I’ll be speaking at an event for The Isis Magazine at Wadham College, Oxford on Feb 6. Come and say hi, it should be interesting. We’ll be talking about architecture, art, writing and the power of activism. Tickets here

    What a wonderful tome this is – it’s the official book to go with the SOS Brutalism exhibition at the German Architecture Museum in Frankfurt, and I had the huge pleasure of writing a bit of it. More info here SOS Brutalism
