  • Pre order my newest book – Unbuilt

    Hello friends! My newest book was created during this terrible lockdown and it is out on September 2nd 2021. It’s called Unbuilt – Radical Visions of a Future That Never Arrived and you can pre-order it from Waterstone’s. It’s about unfinished architecture and ideas about the future that never came true, touching on tech, transport, science and city design. We hope to be doing a launch and some talks this autumn.
