This exhibition of over 100 individual pieces brought together Photolanguage imagery of the late modernist architecture of Oxford and Paris.
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.
Brutalist Paris – Book
In 2020 Blue Crow Media commissioned Photolanguage to research Blue Crow’s first book, Brutalist Paris, building on research conducted for the Brutalist Map of Paris (2017). This is the first thoroughly researched, English language study of Parisian brutalist architecture. It constructs a unique photographic record of over 50 buildings across Paris (1955-1987). Across 7 thematic essays it brings a new interpretation of brutalism in the French context.
