With better times on the horizon, Shangri-La Hotel, At The Shard, London, is offering the opportunity for ‘Time to Reflect’ to escape from the daily home/office or work structures that might confine you and to experience life from a new, different and liberating perspective.
Six RIBA-registered members will get the chance to spend a week in one of the hotel’s 202 rooms, located from level 34-52 at Pritzker-Prize winner Renzo Piano’s dramatic 310m high tower; which, since completing in 2012, has become an unmistakable addition to the capital’s skyline. The opportunity can be taken up at an agreed time over the year from September 2021. To win an exclusive stay in this iconic design, including £100 a day to spend at your choice of the hotel’s restaurants and bars (GŎNG, TĪNG and Bar 31), you just need to tell us what you plan to do with your time there.

These two books are among my favourites – I teach them all the time and they’re also really accessible. One is
Transgender History by Susan Stryker (Seal Press, 2017), which is an introductory overview of the transgender rights movement in contemporary US society.
The other is probably lesser known, but it’s called
Queer Injustice (Beacon Press, 2011) and it was co-authored by historians, lawyers and activists. It’s a beautiful synthesis of queer history and experience in the US in relation to the criminal justice system. And part of what it does is capture a more diverse group of our communities’ experiences. But it also reminds [us] that, up until very recently, being queer was criminalised: people were incarcerated for their love, and that it’s actually just a very new phenomenon that homosexuality does not subject one to criminalisation, even in modern times.
