Elain Harwood is an architectural historian with Historic England and a specialist in post-Second World War English architecture.
By disjointing acts of listening from the ear and its particular arrangement of time, Sonic Continuum proposes a shift from representation to expression and asks: can sound restitute failures to listen? How might we listen to time affectively? What auditory imaginaries and possible futures can listening unfold?
Architectural historian Elain Harwood considers the story of CLASP (Consortium of Local Authorities Special Programme) and its programme of system-built schools in Nottinghamshire as an example of successful collaboration between public architects and government ministries.
