In mid-twentieth century France, the term “social space” (l’espace social) — the idea that spatial form and social life are inextricably linked — emerged in a variety of social science disciplines. Taken up by the French New Left, it also came to inform the practice of urban planning. In The View from Above, Jeanne Haffner traces the evolution of the science of social space from the interwar period to the 1970s, illuminating in particular the role of aerial photography in this new way of conceptualizing socio-spatial relations.

A collection of photographs of Banksy’s street work. Banksy — You Are An Acceptable Level of Threat concentrates on this singular artist’s iconic imagery, spanning the late ’90s up until the end of 2011.The locations are from around the world (predominantly the UK, US and Europe), and many images have never been seen before.
