This miniseries of the Architectural History podcast has been produced to mark the SAHGB Conference 2023: 'Constructing Coloniality: British Imperialism and the Built Environment'. The conference takes as its theme the coloniality of architecture and heritage in relation to the British Empire, from the early years of expansionism and the escalation of the slave trade in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, through the physical and political force wielded in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and the development of racial capitalism, to the subsequent and ongoing struggles for independence, freedom and justice.
In this episode we spoke to Mark Crinson about his reading of the architectural historian Anthony King, whose approach to architecture, coloniality and empire were formed through a complex relationship to different disciplinary traditions, and has much to tell us today about how to write architectural histories of empire.
