‘Non-Structures’ presents London – and cities in general – as a spectacle of constant conflict, negotiation and flux. Capturing key moments in the life of diverse buildings, the images reveal a condition of transience, trapped as these buildings and sites are between the boundaries of architecture and ruin, planning and chance, process and product. The term ‘Non-Structures’ alludes to anthropologist Marc Augé’s influential work ’Non-Places’; this boundary condition, defined by an absence of identity, has lent its name to the series.

Lecture by Dr. Héctor Dante Cincotta for the Anglo-Argentine Society. Dr Cincotta will talk about the life and work of W H Hudson, with the focus being on two of his books: “Far Away and Long Ago” and “Idle Days in Patagonia”. Born in Argentina of American parents, W H Hudson was in his early 30s when he left to make his home in Britain. His early years living on the Pampas in Argentina form the backdrop of his writing. His many achievements include being one of the founder members of the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds. W H Hudson could now be called a true Anglo-Argentine: revered both in Britain, his adopted country, and in Argentina, the land of his birth that formed him as a writer and naturalist.
