An international design research programme, the Portsmouth Elephant Cage (2016-17) is summarised in this report. The Elephant Cage evaluated, explored and critiqued significant issues with the current proposals for sea defences along Portsmouth's Southsea frontage. An alternative strategy for the sea defences that can further enhance the value, amenity, environment and ecology of Southsea common, whilst delivering a more sustainable future for the city of Portsmouth, is then described and illustrated. The report recommends actions forward to address the apparent shortfalls with the existing proposals in the light of the findings.

1775 belonged to Boston but after April of 1776, the Revolutionary War's focus became New York City and the highly strategic Long Island, from Brooklyn's terminal moraine high ground to Queens's Hell Gate. 1776 was the year when revolution came to Long Island, and in particualr the future Long Island City. The failures, defeats and eventual occupation of the area at the hands of the British forged the resolve and strength of character that would later ensure Patriot victories on distant battlegrounds throughout the rest of the colonies. The British did not evacuate western Queens county until November of 1783, but the events of 1776 would not soon be forgotten during the seven long years of occupation afterword. Join author Richard Melnick as he charts the military, political and cultural history 1776 in Long Island City.
