An Alphabet of Architectural Models – Sir John Soane's Museum
£25.00
Product description from their website:
For thousands of years, architects have used models to experiment, invent and communicate. A world in miniature, such models are even more varied in their purposes and materials than their full-scale counterparts. This elegant book explores the fascinating nature of the architectural model through twenty-six illustrated essays, one for each letter of the alphabet. Written by architects, model-makers, curators, conservators and scholars, the texts examine such fundamental issues as modelling materials and techniques, scale, and the role of the model in the design process. They also consider the uses of models outside the architect's office, including as souvenirs, small-scale replicas for film sets, and toys for children and adults alike. The result is a wide-ranging, original account of the multiple lives of the architectural model.
Includes an essay by Helen Dorey, Deputy Director and Inspectress of Sir John Soane's Museum.

The Rio Tape/Slide Archive Book – Rio Cinema
£26.00
Product description from their website:
Radical community photography in Hackney in the 80s
The Rio Tape/Slide Newsgroup was a community project in the 1980s that met in the basement of the Rio Cinema in Dalston, east London. It taught local young people photography and sound-recording skills, then sent them out to report on Hackney life. The resulting ‘newsreels’ were then shown on screen at the Rio before the main feature.
The slides were rediscovered in a battered filing cabinet in the Rio basement during renovation work in 2016. They are a treasure trove of radical community photography depicting protests and activism, street scenes, work, play and 80s Dalston style.
The book also features oral histories from more than 25 people connected with the RTSNG, the Rio, or who appear in the photos. It is a treasure trove of stunning images and a time capsule from the radical past with a strong message about the value of community and protest.
With forewords from Michael Rosen and Zawe Ashton, plus essays on the social and cultural context of the archive, printed on coloured paper stock.
- Softcover / 255 x 195mm (portrait).
- 256 pages (with more than 300 images).
- Published by Isola Press.
