  • An Interview with Murray Fraser on Architectural History for the 21St Century
    $UFKLWHFWXUDO Rujivacharakul, V. 2020. Redefining the Globe: An Interview with Murray Fraser on Architectural History for the 21st Century. Architectural +LVWRULHV Histories, 8(1): 6, pp. 1–12. DOI: https://doi.org/10.5334/ah.482 INTERVIEW Redefining the Globe: An Interview with Murray Fraser on Architectural History for the 21st Century Vimalin Rujivacharakul The highly anticipated 21st edition of Sir Banister Fletcher’s Global History of Architecture was published in January 2020 by Bloomsbury in collaboration with the Banister Fletcher Trust, the Royal Institute of British Architects, and the University of London. Among many new features is an emphasis on the book’s ‘global’ reach, which reshapes its scope and structure. With all chapters written anew and encompassing architectural histories and sites across the globe over the past 5,500 years, the 21st edition of Banister Fletcher emerges at the forefront of the march towards global architectural history. This is a radical transformation of a classic book previously viewed as the Eurocentric canon’s centrepiece. The following interview with Murray Fraser, general editor of the new edition and professor of architecture and global culture at the Bartlett School of Architecture, University College London, explores the paths of his intellectual development, starting with changes from within the ‘centre’ — the former British Empire and its traditionally defined scope of architectural history — through to his eventual shift towards a global outlook. The conversation also offers a retrospective look at architectural education in the 20th century, now seen as a postcolonial ‘tipping point’, and discusses recent scholarship that led to the reformulation of Sir Banister Fletcher’s A History of Architecture.

In January 2011, the scheduling plans of Britain’s biggest TV station, BBC 1, were leaked to the press. After the recent success of BBC comedies such as Outnumbered and My Family, BBC1 Controller Danny Cohen apparently told his team of producers that BBC Comedy was becoming ‘too middle class’, and failing in its responsibility to appeal to working class viewers (Gammell, 2011; Revoir, 2011; Leith, 2011).

    It’s challenging, demanding and controversial. FX Talks! Speakers Simon Allford Joan Bakewell Tim Hunkin Michael Pawlyn TALKS Jonathon Porritt Monty Roberts WHERE Shoreditch Town Hall, 380 Old St, London EC1V 9LT WHEN Thursday 18 May 4pm — 9.30pm Presenter WEB fxtalks.co.uk Tom Dyckhoff FX Talks are produced by Compelo Compelo, a Progressive Media John Carpenter House Group company and the Carmelite Street publisher of FX and Blueprint London EC4Y 0AN designcurial.com It has been a great privilege to deliver this unconventional industry event after several years of dreaming about the concept, and thanks to our generous sponsors, we have been able to invite the best inspirational thinkers from both inside and outside our design circle. So often we are invited to worthy but dull conferences that are financially successful but without any real content. I wanted FX’s first stab in this direction to be different. Radically different. With ideas to stimulate, provoke and make us think differently, I’m hoping this will inspire all the great things to do with about living, and less to do with working. Much as we at FX write about your successful designs and projects, it is very often the ideas behind them that can be so energising and exciting. Very often it’s the concept ideas that are the most engaging that don’t come to fruition because of being too ambitious or too expensive. So instead of writing about them, I thought it would be a good forum to get together to collectively listen and, of course, gt down to some networking afterwards too.
