人们很想把艾塞克斯解雇，因为它是一个由Perma-Tan、深VTT和男孩敲诈勒索者组成的温床。
但是，英格兰郡的大多数人都向建筑爱好者提供了更多的东西。

埃塞克斯是20世纪初至中期的开拓性和实验性建筑。
这些现代主义的宝石现在正被爱在斯塞克斯建筑周末，这是激进的“性爱倡议”的一部分，它试图重新评价该地区与其丰富的文化历史有关（而不是杜伊的普遍形象）。
快乐包括银端，由窗口实业家弗朗西斯亨利克里特建造的村庄，以容纳他的工人。
它的村厅是为期两天的活动的中心，并举办了一个展览。

其他值得注意的地点包括东蒂尔伯里的巴塔庄园，由同名的鞋业公司先锋捷克汤姆šBaťa于1932年创建；以及沿海度假胜地弗林顿岛(Frinton On Sea)。穿梭巴士将在这些地点之间运送游客。

带头激进埃塞克斯是乔希尔，总监的南部-对海画廊的焦点。他说，有两个因素使这个郡在建筑上变得如此重要：一是由于缺乏大型历史遗产，二是有大量的空地可供建设；二是它靠近贫困的东伦敦。希尔解释说，与资本的渗透关系促进了创新和实验，同时也促进了不同的政治意识形态和社会组成。“这些开拓者开始把这个地区看作是一个试验场-为激进的思想、另类的生活方式和新的建筑做准备。”

除了这三个庄园，还有一些值得仔细研究的建筑：1932年，约瑟夫·恩伯顿(Joseph Emberton)在伯纳姆的皇家科林斯游艇俱乐部(Royal Corinthian Yacht Club)是英国唯一家参加现代建筑：国际展览(现代建筑：国际展览)的国家。许多房主正在参观，其中包括海上西克利夫的52和62号克里特菲尔德花园，由瑞士建筑师道格拉斯·尼尔·马丁·凯(DouglasNielMartin-Kaye)带领，他也负责该镇的网球场。

艾塞克斯建筑周末是一次充满启发性的旅行，穿越了美国不公平的地区，这是对一个被低估的建筑热点的一次有价值的调查。

The tour was devised as part of the Radical Essex initiative, which seeks to reevaluate the region in relation to its rich cultural history. Pictured: Bata Factory, East Tilbury, 2016

Two elements conspired to make the county so architecturally significant, explains Focal Point gallery's Joe Hill: plenty of open land to build on thanks to the dearth of large historic estates... Pictured: Bishopsfield Estate, Harlow, 2016

'The permeable relationship with the capital promoted innovation and experimentation with diverse political ideologies and social makeups,' Hill explains. Pictured: Heath Drive, Romford, 2016

'These pioneers came to regard the region as a testing-ground for radical thought, alternative lifestyles and new architecture.' Pictured: Labworth Cafe, Canvey Island, 2016
