The reputation of the renowned London‐based architect Eric Parry rests on his contemporary, but highly contextual approach to the designing of buildings in historic and highly visible city‐centre sites. The author of Context: Architecture and the Genius of Place (Wiley, 2015), Parry acknowledges here the debt that he owes to the thinking of Dalibor Vesely, while describing how it plays out in his renewal project for St Martin‐in‐the‐Fields in London and the extension of the Holburne Museum in Bath.
