A Time ⋅ A Place

Photographer Daniel Hopkinson, pairs classic cars with mid century architecture.

This exhibition features photographs from the book A Time ⋅ A Place - in which every 'Car of the Year' (1964-1982) is paired with a building completed in the same year - photographed by acclaimed architectural photographer Daniel Hopkinson, researched and written by architect John Piercy Holroyd.

The collaboration between the two, aims to capture the essence of both built forms and machines. It also serves as a record of the people, enthusiasts, and custodians who inhabit these spaces. The project began in 2022 and involved extensive travel throughout the UK to find suitable motor cars and locations.

"It became the story of the car and the building and what happened on the day."

"A Time ⋅ A Place is a collaboration between an architect and an architectural photographer seeking to investigate the morphing strands of vehicular and architectural design over a 60-year period. By photographing every winner of the European Car of the Year award alongside a building of the same vintage, it has become an exploration of the permanence of built form against the fragility of machines."
