When the school opened, the architecture dept. had yet to be set up and so all studies began in Textiles β most students started in Weave. With woven textiles being the first ever form of architecture, weaving inspired a foundational understanding of colour + proportion.
At the #Bauhaus, Albers changed #textiles into a #modern #design style. It was reduced, structural, and deeply architectural. Her work changed how people think about #weaving as a place where art, function and material meet. Check out the #rug collection by Anni Albers at

While EugΓ¨ne-Emmanuel Viollet-le-Ducβs approach to restoring Franceβs medieval buildings remains controversial, his many and varied talents are still utterly awe-inspiring, writes Tim Smith-Laing https://t.co/VVJtXKldTC

Would pay just to go in here!
One of my favourite buildings in Huddersfield today was Byram Arcade, a galleried shopping arcade of c1880 by WH Crossland. It's easy to imagine the posh shops that would fill it if it was in Leeds or Harrogate!

The style of this anticipates pulp covers of the 1960s. Fascinating.

It works, doesnβt it? A good shirt collar, a nice tie knot and a large overcoat with the collar turned up nonchalantly. From Florence.

Analogue clocks allow you to visualise times of day as places and the elapse of time as movement through space. Are the people removing them aphantasic?

Between Winter and Spring, when the days are getting longer and the snowdrops are out, is a cheering season called Sprinter.

In the 20th century, the crinoline was regarded as a way of restricting women and keeping them subservient, but when it was current in the 19th century it was seen quite differently. Contempories mocked and reviled it. By the 1870s it had got much larger than this. It was huge.
I found this photo taken a few years ago of a costume maker (empressofbuttons) wearing an 1830s hand made evening gown on the London Underground. Can anyone think of a fun caption for this?

Austin Spare's 'Newspaper seller,' from 1938 is typical of his portraits in its unsettling intensity. He was arguably one of the most gifted draughtsmen in British 20th art and today, perhaps one of the least well-known.

Since you did not award me the Nobel Prize for Physics, I will no longer feel obliged to accept the scam that heat cannot pass from a cold body to a hotter body.
