British photographer and filmmaker Alasdair Ogilvie spent more than 20 years recording the dying traces of prefabricated iron churches.
Invented in 1844 by Phoenix Iron Works in England, corrugated galvanized iron churches, ordered through catalogues, were meant to be temporary. A prefabricated iron church could cost from £150 for a 150-seat chapel to £500 for a 350-seat chapel - a bargain compared to conventional building materials. British photographer and filmmaker Alasdair Ogilvie spent more than 20 years recording the dying traces of these buildings, which are featured in Pentagram Papers 35: Tin Tabernacles and Other Buildings.

Retrospective: Shakespeare in the Park
In 1954, impresario Joe Papp began a summer tradition of staging free outdoor performances of Shakespeare, inaugurating the Public Theater’s beloved Shakespeare in the Park festival. Pentagram partner Paula Scher, whose relationship with the Public spans four decades, has designed a new identity for the series for thirty consecutive summers. Each campaign is customized to the season’s theme, creating a highly visible graphic vocabulary for outdoor advertising, social media, and on-site signage.
