About this deal

We don’t share your credit card details with third-party sellers, and we don’t sell your information to others. Each issue reaches more than 2,300 conservation sector professionals, academics and students, material and equipment suppliers, culture vultures and conservation fans across the broader public, and allied professionals.

Footnotes, references or bibliographies should be avoided or kept to an absolute minimum – Iconnect magazine is not an academic journal. Please note the above deadlines are for guidance only and submitting a news item or article by a deadline does not guarantee inclusion in that issue. In its accounts of the best and worst of recent design, from the marvellous to the mundane to the frankly mean, this is a deeply humane book that does much to explain the world in which we live.

Combines the right amount of personal reflection with insightful observation and historical context to many well known buildings and less well known developments. Very soon you will be able to share your own icons with our community, at the moment you can only upload Photos, and we encourage you to do so!

I like the way this book focuses on buildings that often seem sub-architectural: business parks, out-of-town supermarkets, and new-build dormer suburbs as well as the more-than-architectural (Docklands, the Dome, dodgy cladding). In this eloquent, witty, passionate tour of Britain since the 1980s , John Grindrod provides a superb exposition of the politics and architecture that have shaped a landscape at once both familiar and already strangely historic.
