At Embassy Court Brighton by #Wellscoates. Amazing views out those corner windows, but taking a pounding from salt spray—tough location for a II* concrete building experimental in its day!

At @Tate Britain for launch of Keith Piper’s video response to Whistler’s restaurant mural— slightly underwhelming, installation needs gap between showings with Whistler illuminated— point is that this it is a significant artwork which is why the racist content needs addressing

My review of @royalacademy Herzog de Meuron exhibition in October issue of @BurlingtonMag burlington.org.uk/current-is… — my conclusion? meaty, inspiring content, but not very accessible. Should architects be curating their own work?
