The exhibition will also focus on the works of public art that have been destroyed or gone missing recently. To coincide with the opening of the exhibition we will be tweeting some or our favorite public art works.

​Finally, opening tomorrow (Jan 26th) at the Royal Academy of Arts is Mavericks-Breaking the mould of British architecture https://www.royalacademy.org.uk/exhibition/mavericks-breaking-the-mould-of-british-architecture, featuring among others Charles Holden and James Stirling.
