"Bombing of Gaza has damaged or destroyed more than 100 heritage sites, NGO report reveals" by Sarvy Geranpayeh (The Art Newspaper).

"The human cost of the bombardment of the Gaza Strip in the war with Israel is well documented. What is less well known is how many historic buildings and sites have also been destroyed."

"Several of Gaza’s museums have also been destroyed or damaged. Rafah Museum, located in southern Gaza, published two videos on its Facebook page showing that the building has partially collapsed. Yasin says Palestinian officials have also received reports of significant damage caused to Al Qarara Cultural Museum and Deir Al Balah museum."

There are some architectural details I find endlessly fascinating. Windows and doors fall into that category, but so do staircases and corridors.
This staircase can be found at the Tate St Ives, and is pretty much a black and white affair even when you see it in full colour.

At a stoplight, this caught my attention. It’s “wrong” bc the angle of the peak is too small, making the decorative motif too tall.

So what, right?

This is an old building, c 1770. With considerable wealth coming though trade (slave and other), status symbols were common. In architecture, they came from pattern books.

This guy (surely a man) both did and didn’t follow the book. I wonder if people delighted in his deviance or ridiculed him for it.

An interesting document to see how the problem of contested heritage is addressed by the Church of England (with its limitations and contradictions).

JSTOR Daily is still letting me write for them - yay! - and this month I discuss architectural history's lack of effort in recording queer spaces.

"The dominant heteroview of architectural history means we may lose our queer spaces and their histories before we even know they exist."

📺 O Xurxo Ayán ha vuelto a G24 para una nueva temporada de Zig Zag.

Ayer, habló del proyecto , en curso en , que estudia la arqueología y arquitectura de los escenarios de las fiestas de pueblo "para lograr unha mellor compresión da relación entre forma, tamaño e localización destas estruturas e a evolución da festa e das orquestras e formacións musicais que participan nelas."
