Dive into Tropical Modernism with a look at the Sikh craftsman who worked with Le Corbusier on a “Radiant City” in the Punjab, and the Ghanaian university that fostered an architectural style fit for African Independence.
Meanwhile, the Atlanta-based director of the Sir Elton John and David Furnish Collection of Photography reveals its showstoppers, and fashion writer Dal Chodha draws a line from medieval tapestry to Balenciaga.
We also get up close to a regal 19th-century Iranian portrait, the London-based designers Industrial Facility, and explore new books on the Bloomsbury Group and a Spanish master tailor.
