At the request of the Jones handlers, here are Google Drive links to a smattering of my essays from this year. Read on, if ye dare. Sorry for the lack of titles.
Final Essay from ENVS2034: History and Theory of Architecture about Rem Koolhaas and Frank Lloyd Wright and their opposing approaches to self-mythology. (Very nebulous).
Final Essay from HART1307: Living with Boom & Bust: Meanings and Values in London Housing c. 1840-1970 about the obscure similarities between two major postwar housing developments in London. (Fairly dry).
Essay from HART2107: Matter and Mediation: Abstraction After Warhol about structuralist and post-structuralist readings of Warhol's dalliances with gravity.
Essay from HART2002 imagining a TJ Clark-style social historical reading of Dan Flavin's Monument for V. Tatlin.

I also spent the last several weeks of this summer taking part in the Bartlett Summer Foundation Course for people interested in pursuing architecture. There's tons of cool resources on the site. If you're curious about what I did, click on my author name (2014danconnors) in the list on the right to navigate to it.
