It is clear that I haven’t been very good at keeping my website up to date, or even visiting it, come to think of it. But from now on, I promise to do better.

I have news. First of all, my latest book is out and doing the rounds. Art Nouveau: the Architecture of Modern Life, published by my dear friends at Heni Publishing, aims to be a fresh perspective on the first Modern style. Art Nouveau remains the fantastically creative environment that saw most forms of modernity in decorative art, design, and architecture emerge for the first time. The book has wonderful new photography, by the brilliant photographer Pete Huggins, with buildings from over 30 countries. The two of us travelled Europe to get these images.
