Architecture without Architects
To build, you need a language and a programme. Guido Beltramini introduces the Cinquecento Veneto literati as “directors” of the refashioning of their own houses - the people who provided the models and sources for the language and the strategies for the programme.

We Mark Your Memory: writings from the descendants of indenture
Edited by David Dabydeen, Maria del Pilar Kaladeen, and Tina K. Ramnarin
To mark the centenary of the abolition of the system in the British Empire (2017–20) this volume brings together, for the first time, new writing from across the Commonwealth. It is a unique attempt to explore, through the medium of poetry and prose, the indentured heritage of the twenty-first century.
