Bruce Peter: Aeroplanes, hotels and global architectures
About this episode
In Episode 26 of A is for Architecture, I speak with the Glasgow School of Art's Professor Bruce Peter, about themes, buildings, people and ideas gleaned from his 2020 book, Jet Age Hotels and the International Style 1950-1965. It's a wonderful book, and Bruce is a remarkably knowledgeable, entertaining and insightful conversationalist. The topic might seem niche, and away from the thing A is for Architecture has done so far, but it isn't. Have a listen and you'll see...
I met Bruce at Glasgow when I got to seem him teach enthralled classes with a verve and energy I could only dream of manifesting, born from a real mastery of his subject. Read the book and listen to the fella. He's worth it. You can get Jet Age Hotels and the International Style 1950 - 1965 here.
Bruce can be looked at here, and his Tweets can be read here. You can LinkedIn him here.
Enjoy!
