Excellent exhibition at the @V_and_A on Tropical Modernism exploring the architecture of power and independence, and the complex picture of modernity and identity. Be sure to stay for the 27-minute film depicting the Ghanaian section of the exhibition.

Happy birthday to the Barbican, which opened in 1982, 42 years ago. 🎈 The @BarbicanCentre in London is a famous example of Brutalist architecture. The coarse concrete surfaces of its 3 towers and 13 terrace blocks were built between 1965 and 1976 on a bomb-ravaged site.

The Department would like to sincerely thank Professor James W.P. Campbell for his hard work and dedication as Head of Department for the last four years. His service has left a legacy that students will benefit from for many years to come.
