Reece Davey is a content creator and architecture graduate on a mission to make architecture fun and accessible for all. With help from architect and researcher Nana Biamah-Ofosu, Reece explores why pioneering British architects travelled to tropical climates to adapt their utopian modernist principles, creating a style now known as Tropical Modernism. Nana explains how the style is rooted in a colonial era – but what happened when these countries became independent? And what can we learn from Tropical Modernism today?
In each episode of his new series, 'Reece's Alternative Guide to Architecture', he visits buildings in London (and beyond) to explain how and why they were built, providing the tools for understanding and enjoying the built environment like never before.
