James Taylor-Foster

James Taylor-Foster is a British architecture writer, editor, designer and curator residing in Rotterdam, Netherlands. He is the European Editor-at-Large for the Chilean media platform ArchDaily—the "world's most visited architecture website"[1]—and has written for Volume Magazine,[2] Disegno,[3] Monocle,[4] and more. Alongside appointed Curator David Basulto,[5] Taylor-Foster is Assistant Curator for the Pavilion of the Nordic Countries (designed by Pritzker Prize-winning Architect Sverre Fehn) at the 2016 Venice Biennale of Architecture, directed by Alejandro Aravena.

Trained as an architect, Taylor-Foster has previously worked for Francine Houben at Mecanoo in Delft as editor of the monograph People, Place, Purpose: the World According to Mecanoo.[6][7] He jointly edits The Bartlett School of Architecture's biannual journal LOBBY Magazine (Issue 2, Clairvoyance and Issue 3, Defiance)[8] and is a regular broadcaster on Monocle 24 radio (The Monocle Daily, Section D, The Urbanist, The Globalist, and The Briefing).[9] Taylor-Foster has lectured throughout the UK and Europe, most recently as part of the London Festival of Architecture.[10][11]

In 2011 Taylor-Foster's first book—Monet: Colour in Impressionism—was published by Haaplin. In 2012, a special edition of the same title became one of the first interactive art history e-books in the Apple iBookstore.[12] The book was described by curator and broadcaster Sandrine Voillet as "thoroughly written"[13] and artist Lydia Bauman as "[resonating] perfectly with one of the most popularly loved subjects in art history."[14]

In 2009 Taylor-Foster founded the Lincoln Philosophy Café, an open society for philosophical and topical discussion based in the city of Lincoln, England.
