This exhibition of over 100 individual pieces brought together Photolanguage imagery of the late modernist architecture of Oxford and Paris.
Art Deco Paris Map
Photolanguage’s Art Deco Map of Paris was published in 2025, marking the centenary anniversary of the International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts (1925).
Modern Oxford Map (1940-89)
In 2023 Blue Crow Media commissioned Photolanguage to produce a Modern Map of Oxford. Whilst providing a detailed record of the university commissioned architecture of the post-war period, it also traces Oxford’s growth as a modern city beyond the historic centre, through the work of Douglas Murray and the Oxford City Architects, and the church design of Colin Shewring in Cowley.
Modern Paris Map (1900-70)
From January 2022 Photolanguage began researching for a Modern Map of Paris, our second map of Paris for Blue Crow Media (published Autumn 2023). The map charts a selection of early examples, from the emergence of a proto-Modernism in the 1910s (the typology of concrete frame, artisanal workshops and works by Auguste Perret and Paul Gaudet); to the height of avant-garde experimentation in the 1920s and 30s; the post-war era of reconstruction and infrastructural development; through to examples of the late modernism of the 1960s.
