The Architectural Review PodcastAuthor: The Architectural Review
The Architectural Review Podcast extends the conversation outside the pages of the print magazine, with fearless storytelling, independent critical voices and thought-provoking architecture from around the world since 1896. The AR Bookshelf series invites the most interesting and influential names in architecture to put books on an imaginary bookshelf and tell us their story, and AR Reads brings you a piece from our vast archive, while AR Ecologies explores the tension between architecture and ecology, weaving curious and critical voices together to debunk the most important questions of our time.

Huda Tayob on how an apartheid-era film captures a lost neighbourhood: CCA x AR Bookshelf
Thursday, 22 August, 2024
In this episode, architectural historian, writer and educator Huda Tayob takes us to the now destroyed Sophiatown in Johannesburg, South Africa, through recordings of the neighbourhood found in the 1959 film Come Back Africa. This AR Bookshelf episode is part of a collaboration between The Architectural Review and the Canadian Centre for Architecture (CCA) around the book Fugitive Archives: A Sourcebook for Centring Africa in Histories of Architecture, published following the CCA’s Centring Africa research project. In each episode of this short series, a researcher from the publication tells the story of a place based on sources traditionally overlooked by western archives. Forming a fugitive archive itself, the episodes study both the places themselves and the media – better suited to podcast than paper – that document and describe them. Fugitive Archives is edited by Claire Lubell and Rafico Ruiz, and co-published with Jap Sam Books (October 2023).
