The Modernist casts its eye far beyond its Manchester home

摘要

Neat, snappy and still in its oversized A5 format, quarterly magazine The Modernist (see AJ 20.07.11) is now in its third issue. This issue includes the usual missives from its normal Lancashire stomping ground - Eddy Rhead recalls Granada TV, which was broadcasting from Manchester while Salford Quays was still a working dock, while Aidan Turner Bishop recalls the tragically short-lived Hornsea Pottery- but it also looks to more exotic climes. There are tales from towerblocks in Leningrad, a Modernist guide to Essex, reports from Canadian oil city Edmonton, and the story of the Lingotto factory by naval architect Matte Trucco that famously features the fantastic racetrack atop.
