RIYA PATEL is curator of London’s Aram Gallery, an

independent venue dedicated to new and experimental

design. Since earning her master’s degree in architecture

and beginning her journalism career at the Architects’

Journal and The Architectural Review, she has been an

editor at Frame, as well as a senior editor at Icon, for

which she now serves as a contributing editor. Patel

writes for publications such as Disegno, Wallpaper* and

The Independent. On page 152, she reviews the evolving

role of the shelf.

Based in Los Angeles and New York City, photographer

MOLLY CRANNA prefers shooting portraits, fashions

and still lifes, with an emphasis on interesting faces and

interesting things. She uses colour to solve problems and

finds visual catharsis in straight lines and unexpected

moments. Her client list includes Puma, Target, Wired,

Paper magazine and Playboy. Cranna’s portraits of the

architects behind Johnson Favaro are on page 142.

As an editor and author specializing in 20th-century

architecture and design, JOHN JERVIS has filled the roles

of deputy editor at Icon magazine and managing editor at

ArtAsiaPacific. He has written for numerous publications

in the creative sector and edited catalogues for leading

institutions, including Tate and the National Gallery.

Nowadays, Jervis can be found procrastinating in London,

weighed down by an unfinished manuscript on welfare-

state architecture. His piece about the restoration of

Le Corbusier’s Paris penthouse is on page 124.

The work of Finnish photographer TUOMAS UUSHEIMO

captures the unspoken stories of architecture, built

environments, interiors and objects. His images have been

featured in international publications such as The New

York Times, Monocle and Architectural Digest. He teaches

architectural photography at the Lahti Institute of Design

and Fine Arts in Helsinki and at KS Koolitus in Tallinn.

For this issue, he photographed three buildings in

Helsinki: the Scandic Hotel (see p. 78), Oodi Central

Library (see p. 132) and the Amos Rex museum (see p. 172).
