John Soane died in 1837 but his legacy lives on in his architecture. Today architects across the world are inspired by his magical interiors. Four outstanding contemporary architects explore Sir John Soane's house and museum and identify works and motifs of his that have insired them or that they have specificaly referenced.
Similar interest is also documented from sources for other modern architects - Raymond Erith, Philip Johnson, Robert Venturi, Arata Isozaki, Jeremy Dixon, Eric Kuhne and Gilbert Scott.
This exhibition and catalogue celebrates the most gifted, inventive and eccentric amateurs of the 18th and early 19th centuries with a selection of drawings, engravings and portraits gathered from Soane's collection and other museums, archives and private houses around the country. More
