The Romance of Classicism
To celebrate the release of his new book, join architect George Saumarez Smith in conversation with Jeremy Musson for an exploration of the English country house today.
Drawing on projects that he has designed over the past two decades, Saumarez Smith reveals how classical architecture can meet contemporary living with elegance, restraint, and lasting value. From farmhouses and villas to rural retreats, these houses champion natural materials, craftsmanship, and timeless proportion over fashion and impermanence. Illustrated with images from the book, the talk offers a compelling vision of modern classicism shaped for twenty-first-century life.
In collaboration with Rizzoli.
