Inside:
"Without slipping into nostalgia, it's worth remembering that there was a time when PUBLIC meant prestige, ambition and civic confidence. Sometimes we need to peel back years of indifference to see it - in housing, theatres, libraries, bus services."
Inside the new Modernist we hear from an architect who shares her experience working with public buildings, there's a paean to the pub sign, and a profile on the Leeds Picture library, an art lending scheme begun in 1961 and still active today.
Elsewhere - Lo Parkin's hand-drawn high-rises that document the estates and social housing, an article on the Gateshead 'Get Carter' car park, some astonishing monuments to Soviet ambition and a lovely article about lavatory pictograms from graphic designer Ian McLaren.
