My vision and advice to architects and designers today is to go back the schematic of social exchange of the high streets and the traditional village markets, creating new hubs, decentralising the city, and unmaking the shopping malls, refusing to create bedroom quarters for workers and shortening the commute between family, social life, work, and economic centres.

Now, at a time when there is a mass re-awakening towards the urgency of addressing climate change, it is as though we have been practicing for this moment. The need for a broader interpretation of sustainable design, and the need to reconnect people with the natural world through the buildings we design is in our blood – it’s our DNA. The last paradigm shift in architecture was brought to us through the soul-searching quests of the great modernists. Brilliant and flawed, it has led to our shared architectural language – and we all design within this frame of reference. Now we are entering another period of transformation, centered on how we all respond to the challenges of climate change.

Because while trying to set out the rules is all very well, it is the churches that break them that are the most instructive. Let us consider the work of three architects who were not members of the AWG or the ACES, and who never subscribed to any of those ideas, or went to the meetings, or even mixed with the people. But who nonetheless designed churches which it is both meaningful and, more importantly, helpful, to see as Arts & Crafts churches.

"In contemporary painting Gillian Carnegie's work stands apart, quietly, calmly and insistently uncanny, with an emotional tenor unlike anything else in art today."
Artist Gillian Carnegie takes a pause from work in the studio to talk to Meris Ryan-Goff about the process of preparing for, and creating the Contemporary Painters Series monograph on her paintings...

As part of our focus on Surrealist artists this month, we are sharing an extract from Simon Martin's monograph on Edward Burra.
This important book represents the first full-scale monograph on Edward Burra, positioning the artist - who has been somewhat neglected by histories of modern art because his singular vision was often at odd with the mainstream art world - as a major figure in the history of 20th-century art.
