Introducing AR Reads, a podcast series by the AR in which pieces from the archive are lovingly selected and read out loud for you to enjoy
AR Reads is a podcast by The Architectural Review, bringing you a piece from our vast archive, read out loud for you to enjoy.
This episode features our Reputations on Sylvia Crowe by Jonathan Glancey, published in AR March 2017. Following on from the publication of our February issue on Gardens, but also as we go into production on our March issue on Care and the W Awards, which celebrate the work of women in and around architecture, we have chosen this piece on Sylvia Crowe, the 20th Century British landscape architect of the Modern garden known for the gardens of the Commonwealth Institute in London, the Rutland Water reservoir in East Anglia, and texts such as Garden Design and Tomorrow’s Landscape.

Also referenced in the text is Timothy Brittain-Catlin’s Outrage on the betrayal of the Commonwealth Institute, the Crowe-designed landscape of which was destroyed to make way for OMA’s additions next to what is now London’s Design Museum
