  Ian Ritchie is recognized as one of the UK's most visionary architects, renowned for his innovative approach that synthesises multiple creative disciplines to articulate the essence of his architectural projects. A poet and artist as well as an architect, Ritchie distills his concepts and design principles into verse, exploring the interplay between the complexities of architectural commissions and the art of composition.
  In Life, Ritchie's poems are complemented by his monotypes, vivid expressions of his passion for colour and artistic expression. The collection traces Ritchie's personal journey, his evolution from youth to mentor, navigating themes of love, loss, and his passion for art and architecture. Yet, above all, the works invite readers to share in his unique perspective on the natural and built environment, transcending conventional boundaries to contemplate the realms of architecture and the spirit.

  100 20th-Century Sports and...

  Society Twentieth Century

  A showcase of Britain's most architecturally significant sports and leisure buildings from the twentieth century and beyond.
  100 20th Century Sports and Leisure Buildings gives a fascinating insight into the spaces where we play: from swimming pools and skate parks to ice rinks and cricket pavilions. These structures are not only an intensely evocative part of our shared social heritage but some of the most architecturally innovative constructions of the past century – as seen here in buildings by architects including Edwin Lutyens, Walter Tapper, John Burnet and Zaha Hadid.
  The twentieth century saw a rapid expansion in the public provision for sports and leisure as workers won the right to paid holiday, prompting a boom in the construction of municipal lidos, pools and sports grounds. Later in the century leisure centres brought together facilities for a whole range of sports with an emphasis on family fun, combining environmentally controlled environments with soaring engineering and playful pop imagery. Space-age geodesic domes, diamond-glazed pyramids, castellated forts, brutalist elephants and Moorish postmodern palaces are just a few of the highlights of this idiosyncratic genre showcased here.
  Expert essays on particular building types, including Alan Powers on lidos and Simon Inglis on sports stadiums, give further context to these spaces. Also included is an introduction with a strong campaigning element – with the decimation of local authority budgets forcing the closure of many centres and pools, this is a timely exploration that provides a crucial record of this key part of our cultural heritage.

  David Lynch - Revised & Updated...

  Internationally renowned, David Lynch was America's premier purveyor of the surreal, an artist whose work in cinema, television, and the internet exposed the world to his highly personalized view of society. This book examines his oeuvre, from the cult surrealism of his debut feature Eraserhead to his last feature Inland Empire, considering the themes, motifs, and stories behind his incredible feature films, shorts, and internet projects. His series Twin Peaks revolutionized TV and expanded the possibilities of what the medium could offer. This updated edition includes Twin Peaks: The Return, his continuation of the series twenty-five years after the original had set the world alight. 
   
  In Lynch's world the mundane and the fantastical collide, often with terrifying consequences. It is a place where the abnormal is normal, where the respectable becomes sinister, where innocence is lost and redemption gained at a terrible price. And there's always music in the air. From the deserts of a distant world to an ordinary backyard, at the breakneck speed of Lost Highway or the sedate determination of The Straight Story, listeners will experience amateur sleuths, messiahs, giants and dwarves, chanteuses, psychopaths, cherry pie, and damn fine coffee. 
   
  David Lynch is your guide to this other world . . . and this is your guide to David Lynch.
