Thank you, Emily, for writing such evocative descriptions of these photographs of modernist and post-war gems in London, and bringing together photography, art history, and experience.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Emily says:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8220;Despite being locked down halfway around the world from London at the moment, writing and researching for Layers of London has virtually transported me to corners of the city I never would have otherwise discovered.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I\u2019m far from an expert on London\u2019s architecture\u2014as an MA student at The Courtauld I took Dr. Jo Applin\u2019s New York-centric course, \u2018The Sixties\u2019\u2014so examining the Conway Library photographs has been a total learning experience. But it\u2019s probably no surprise that among my favorite discoveries is St. Paul\u2019s Bow Common, a post-war building that\u2019s been completely shocking to parishioners since it opened in 1960.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Looking beyond these sometimes strange, sometimes nondescript building exteriors, I\u2019m excited to feel like I\u2019m beginning to better understand so much of the architectural thought and theory that created the London we see today.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Records researched by Emily Redfield<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_910\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-910\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-910\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.courtauld.ac.uk\/digitalmedia\/files\/2020\/08\/CON_B04248_F001_030.png\" alt=\"Interior view, St. Paul's, Bow Common, Tower Hamlets, London E3 5AR.

Defying convention, the open floor plan shocked parishioners, but it created possibility as well\u2014an opening, literal and symbolic, of the space the church would provide its East London community. Lighting and defining that space is the main identifying feature of St. Paul&#8217;s: the light-filled lantern above. Where stark walls and concrete floors stretch unbroken, its effect is sublime, casting a geometry of light in angular forms.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In another Conway photograph uploaded to Layers of London, part of artist Ralph Beyer&#8217;s inscription above the church&#8217;s exterior entrance can be read. The full quote from Genesis works in no small part to identify the otherwise ambiguous building to passersby: &#8216;Truly this is none other, But the House of God, This is the Gate of Heaven&#8217;. Not unlike the unyielding modernity of St. Paul&#8217;s, the lettering declares itself resolutely, less a whisper, more a shout.\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.layersoflondon.org\/map\/users\/2626?record=14491\">Read more and see more photos on Layers of London<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_911\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-911\" style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-911\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.courtauld.ac.uk\/digitalmedia\/files\/2020\/08\/CON_B04266_F002_001-1.png\" alt=\"Playground, Benthal Road Primary School, Hackney, London N16 7AU.

Each of the eight Maas buildings houses a single classroom, with the Moorish pavilion-inspired roofs providing light as well as a distinctive tent-like appearance&#8230;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8216;Nobody seemed to be designing schools for small children&#8217;, Maas said, reflecting upon his design, &#8216;I wanted Benthal to feel like a children\u2019s world in which adults were invited\u2019.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Thus, taking his own children as inspiration, he lowered windows to children&#8217;s eye levels and transformed classrooms into doming, cave-like spaces. The curves and portals serve an essential purpose.
