Really interesting exhibition at The Photographer's Gallery on architecture and town planning in the 1960s/70s and the photographs published in Architectural Review. This first photograph reminded me of the Odessa Steps sequence in the Battleship Potemkin.
Tony Ray-Jones, Low-rise housing, Tavy Bridge, Thamesmead, Greenwich, London, 1970,‘Manplan 8: Housing’ Architectural Review, 1970 Sep.
Peter Baistow, High-rise flats and multi-storey car park, Birmingham, 1970, ‘Manplan 5: Religion’ in Architectural Review, 1970 Mar.
Tom Smith, Rosebery Sixth Form College, Epsom, Surrey: a music room in the old building, formerly Rosebery County Grammar School for Girls, 1969, 'Manplan 4: 'The Continuing Community' in Architectural Review, vol. 147, 1970 Jan.
This photograph made me think of Florence Henri's play with frosted/opaque class, reflections and 'seeing through' architecture or windows to gain access to a framed scene beyond structures in the foreground.
