    117 — John Soane 7 — The Museum
    Oct 2 2024

    In the final episode of our series on Sir John Soane we discussed his house and museum on Lincoln's Inn Fields in the centre of London, where the museum kindly allowed us to record this episode. We also talked about Pitzhanger, his country house in Ealing, and the development of his unique collecting practice.

    116 — John Soane 6 — Monuments
    Jul 30 2024

    In the sixth part of our series on John Soane, we discussed some major monumental buildings in and around London. We began with Dulwich Picture Gallery, perhaps the first purpose-built public art gallery in the world. Then we discussed his church buildings in Marylebone, Southwark and Bethnal Green respectively.

No books on architecture on audible … try this!

I’ve been listening to AB+C on another platform for a number of years and had to write this review having searched audible for architecture contact and found it lacking. The perfect architecture podcast, cheers George and Luke!
