the modernist

A Time ⋅ A Place - our latest book, in which every 'Car of the Year' (1964-1982) is paired with a building completed in the same year - photographed by acclaimed architectural photographer Daniel Hopkinson, researched and written by architect John Piercy Holroyd. The collaboration between the two, aims to capture the essence of both built forms and machines. It also serves as a record of the people, enthusiasts, and custodians who inhabit these spaces. The project began in 2022 and involved extensive travel throughout the UK to find suitable motor cars and locations. Help us reach our crowdfinding target - we're over 70% there already but need a little extra to reach our goal. https://lnkd.in/dnCzYXiV
