This is the Rendall Building within the campus grounds of Liverpool University. It’s an amazing use of concrete built in 1963 and yes, the glass windows are all of stained glass though it’s not clear from these pictures.

If you like architecture and live in the U.K. it’s worth checking out “The Modernist” app. It has some self guided tours around key architectural buildings in a small number of U.K. towns and cities. We chose to do the University tour in Liverpool and as a result saw lots of interesting building and sculptures and learned a few things about them too. We’re definitely going to do a few more. (I will say that the directions for getting from one place to another weren’t ideal but the app is location sensitive so we knew when we’d got to where we were supposed to be!)

At the Perch on Worthing Pier. We didn't know it then but it was the last supper with Mum

My brother and I took my mother to Worthing for a wonderful weekend away shortly before she passed away. I want to remember the love and beauty of that weekend

Villa Savoye in Poissy, France: a modernist manifesto

The Villa is characterised by large windows and light, blurring the lines between inside and outside. It is beautifully done but was largely uninhabitable, being too hot in summer and too cold in winter

🌿✨ Stepping into a masterpiece where glass meets jungle: welcome to Casa de Vidro, Lina Bo Bardi’s iconic 1951 residence in São Paulo’s Morumbi neighborhood.
This isn’t just a house—it’s a bold declaration of harmony between modernist transparency and the wild beauty of the Mata Atlântica. Elevated on slender pilotis, wrapped in floor-to-ceiling glass, the home literally floats among the trees Lina herself planted over decades. Inside and outside dissolve into one breathtaking dialogue: sunlight filters through leaves, curtains dance with the breeze, and every room feels like an invitation to live more openly, more connected to nature.
Designed as her own home (together with Pietro Maria Bardi), it became a creative sanctuary for artists, thinkers, and visionaries. Today, preserved by the Instituto Bardi / Casa de Vidro, it stands as a timeless reminder that great architecture doesn’t dominate the landscape—it embraces, elevates, and protects it.
Lina once said architecture is “an adventure in which people are called to intimately participate as actors.” Walking through these spaces, you feel exactly that: invited to participate in something revolutionary.
Who else dreams of a home this poetic? Drop a 🌳 if this kind of integration inspires you, or tag a friend who needs to see this Brazilian modernist gem!
