Architecture Repopulated

Rosemary Hill, reviewing Steven Brindle’s Architecture in Britain and Ireland, 1530-1830, celebrates his approach to architecture as a social, collaborative endeavour, where human need (and human greed) stymies starchitectural vision. Rosemary takes Tom on a tour of British and Irish architecture, from the Reformation through industrialisation, featuring big egos, unexpected outcomes and at least one architect she thinks it’s ‘completely fair’ to call a villain.  Find further reading on the episode page: lrb.me/brindlepod Listen to Rosemary on the design of Bath: lrb.me/stonehengepod And on Salisbury Cathedral: lrb.me/salisburypod Hosted on Acast.
