Leslie Williamson photographed the houses of some of the biggest names in mid-century modernism for Handcrafted Modern, including the New York home of Russel Wright (1904-1976). The designer of the best-selling American Modern dinnerware collection, as well as furniture, textiles and home accessories, Wright worked with architect David Leavitt to create a house and studio composed of materials found on the property - mainly stone and timber - to marry the structure to the landscape

The Marc Boutin Architectural Collective: Wrap House, Calgary
Boutin has designed this home for a single male, and with this in mind, the spaces within are flexible in nature to adapt to changes in lifestyle over time. The plan is ‘eroded’ along the south elevation to create an interior-exterior courtyard space that becomes the main feature of the home. Light floods the interior spaces from the courtyard, which also creates a spatially complex interconnectivity between spaces on a very compact footprint.

David Buckley, Royal College of Art, London Nominated by Richard Wentworth
As is hinted by his limited-edition cover, Buckley is fascinated by tribal art works, ‘as much for their material qualities, as for the complications around how and for what reason such works came to be appreciated by western audiences’, he says. ‘The desire to experience exoticism, strangeness and foreignness through encountering objects within a conventional framework is at the root of how we have come, through cabinets of curiosities and then through museums, to experience works of art.’ In his work, Buckley tries to tease out that desire and to evoke the balance between order and disorder, as well as look at the frameworks of display and decoration (for instance through stands, plinths, or shelves) that go hand in hand to civilise foreign objects.Most inspired by: 'I love the films of Rainer Werner Fassbinder and John Cassavetes, primarily because there is an edginess to how each constructs the narrative through editing and character acting, so that the viewer is never entirely sure what is going to happen next. I also love the pace of the work of W G Sebald, and how he managed to incorporate social and historical themes in his profound and moving novels.'
