I am a consultant, writer and photographer specialising in architectural and urban history in a wide range of cultural contexts. My work for various international organisations in places as diverse as Africa, China and Europe regularly features in print, electronic and broadcast media internationally. Among my published works are several definitive studies, including The Life of the British Home - An Architectural History (Wiley, 2012), McMorran & Whitby (RIBA, 2009), Modernism in China - Architectural Visions and Revolutions (Wiley, 2008), Building Shanghai - The Story of China's Gateway (Wiley, 2006) and Asmara Africa's Secret Modernist City (Merrell, 2003).
