'As We Stroll Down Piccadilly'




Royal Academy of Arts (archive) show

Summary: Piccadilly has always been a meeting place of different social worlds, commemorated in popular songs and human stories - and reflected in its architecture. Inspired by a 1933 lecture on Piccadilly by the celebrated inter-war architect and wit, H.S. Goodhart-Rendel, Professor Alan Powers, curator of 'Eros to the Ritz', uses the street and its diverse architecture to explore questions of architectural criticism and judgement in the twenty-first century.
