Before leaving university, Fisher had numerous low-paying jobs, including: working in a Cyril Lord carpet factory in Northern Ireland, as a waiter, as a kitchen porter, as a caddy on a golf course, insulating roofs, on a travelling fairground and as a folk singer and guitarist.
He is best known as architect of Stratford International station in London and Ebbsfleet International Station in Kent. These stations are innovative in terms of their modular approach to addressing two similar design problems with a standardised architectural response, thus ensuring an on time and on budget completion.
Aesthetically these stations show underlying influences of Mies van der Rohe, and are executed in a formal, late-modernist manner.
Fisher lead Grimshaw's design team on the British Pavilion at Expo '92 and has subsequently worked on numerous rail schemes, including an extended period as lead architect for the early design stages of Crossrail's Paddington Station.
Fisher has been influential in developing and implementing the architectural concept of Passenger Flow Orientated Space, which build on the ideas of John J. Fruin. His recent design interests have included applying the concept of Passenger Flow Orientated Space in the international context of the multi-modal interchange.
This one will stick with ya! The first verse was written by Harley Brittain then the second verse and chorus was written by Mark Fisher and Harley Brittain together. Mark Fisher wrote the rest of it over time while playing as the Gin River Outlaws Band who played this at every gig they did for about 10 years. Hope you enjoy!

E49 Mark Fisher - Musician
On this episode I'm joined by musician Mark Fisher. In the summer, Mark is probably a staple at your favorite Jersey Shore bar or maybe you've caught him at Shady's (sorry 814 South, once Shady's always Shady's) or any number of his regular haunts playing banger after banger. Mark's a dual threat, you can listen to him getting a crowd to sing along to all the hits or stream his original music on any platform. Mark and I discuss how someone breaks into the business, staying at a hostile in Key West between gigs and never knowing who your roommate is going to be, getting tired of playing Facebook Live shows during the pandemic and deciding to record your own original music instead. I've known Mark a long time and he's a good dude, give him a follow and if you see him jammin', tell him you he...

Written by M. Stewart and A. Spaceland

'Storm Crow’ by Mark Stewart is a track made for ‘Lost Futures’, the forthcoming film in development about the life and work of the influential writer and theorist Mark Fisher, and is also featured on the compilation ‘Pay It All Back Vol. 8’, the latest volume in the acclaimed series of samplers from Adrian Sherwood’s On-U Sound label.
"I first met Mark Stewart through the film we are making about the life and work of the writer Mark Fisher. Tariq Goddard (the writer and head of Repeater Books, which he founded with Fisher) had given me the names of people we should speak to and Mark's was one of the first names on the list. As Mark Stewart and I began discussing the film and I told him I wanted to use some of his music in it because Fisher loved the Pop Group, he suggested we collaborate on a music video for a new track of his, Storm Crow. It seemed like a perfect fit, a chance to experiment and also a way of getting the news about the film we are trying to make out into the world. We are in the process of financing the film which can be an arduous process. We're always on the look out for collaborators and champions for the project and if people who read this feel they can help in some way we would love to speak to them.
The ‘Storm Crow’ video is an attempt to visualise the ideas of Mark Fisher and combine them with music with a similar perspective. A playful experiment in matching his ideas to the music of Mark Stewart, recontextualizing old tv advertisements (which both Marks would have grown up watching) zombie movies, along with pivotal social and political moments which helped bring us to what Fisher called "Capitalist Realism" which is the idea that it is now easier to imagine the end of the world, than the end of capitalism.’
The vast body of work Fisher left behind explores Capitalism’s unassailable role in our lives, the closing off of any sense of a future different from the present, and the effects of this on us as individuals. His writings lifted up the veil and showed the world afresh to his readers, and that's what is the core idea in the music video.
The film itself revolves around something which is central to Mark Fisher's work: the future. When I was young the future was everywhere. It could be anything, it seemed rife with possibilities, for something better. Now, it’s only talked about as a more terrifying version of the present. This is a film about the futures we have lost and how we might start imagining new ones again.
We will use Mark Fisher's life and his brilliant ideas as a guide through some of the most urgent questions of our time."
