• Iain_Borden abstract "Iain Borden (born in Oxford in 1962) is an English architectural historian and urban commentator. He is currently Vice-Dean Education at The Bartlett, University College London (UCL), and Professor of Architecture and Urban Culture. He is particularly well known for his academic studies of everyday occurrences such as car driving, skateboarding, walking and movies in relation to contemporary architecture and public spaces. His Skateboarding, Space and the City: Architecture and the Body, (Berg, 2001), met with considerable acclaim for its highly analytic and historical account of skateboarding, using the philosophy of Henri Lefebvre to interpret this urban practice as a creative, political and spatial act. His later book Drive: Journeys through Film, Cities and Landscapes, (Reaktion, 2012), similarly explored automobile driving as experiences of cities and urban spaces, using cinematic representations to explore different speeds, landscape and social conditions.He graduated from University of Newcastle upon Tyne in 1985, and went on to complete masters degrees at UCL and University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and a PhD at UCL. He is an Honorary Fellow of the Royal Institute of British Architects.His wide-ranging historical and theoretical interests have led to publications on, among other subjects: critical theory and architectural historical methodology (InterSections: Architectural Histories and Critical Theories, (Routledge, 2000)), the history of skateboarding as an urban practice (Skateboarding, Space and the City: Architecture and the Body, (Berg, 2001), new version forthcoming), boundaries and surveillance, theorists Henri Lefebvre and Georg Simmel, film and architecture, gender and architecture, body spaces and the experience of city spaces (The Unknown City: Contesting Architecture and Social Space, (MIT Press, 2001)). He has recently undertaken a history of automobile driving as a spatial experience of cities, landscapes and architecture, and particularly as represented in movies: Drive: Journeys through Film, Cities and Landscapes, (Reaktion, 2012).In London, 2013, Iain Borden was involved in events around the controversial Southbank Centre plans to relocate skateboarding on its site. He supported the retention of skateboarding at the original Undercroft location and elsewhere on the Southbank, appearing in the \"Save Our Southbank\" and Long Live Southbank videos to this end, and playing a significant part in the proposed new skateable space underneath the nearby Hungerford Bridge. In 2014, Borden also helped English Heritage list the iconic Rom skatepark in Hornchurch (constructed 1978), the first such skatepark in Europe to gain heritage protection. He has written several articles in national newspapers extolling the history, virtues and benefits of skateboarding to society, and has given advice on skateboard facility design and provision to numerous city authorities, architects and skatepark manufacturers. In 2015, he acted as an adviser for the multi-million pound 'Urban Sports Park' in Folkestone, UK, designed by Guy Hollaway Architects and Maverick skateparks for the Roger De Haan Charitable Trust, to be the world's first multi-level skatepark.UCL profile http://www.ucl.ac.uk/bartlett/people/?school=architecture&upi=IMBOR56Facebook https://www.facebook.com/iain.bordenTwitter @IainBorden".
