by Anthony Rayworth.
Anthony will give three lectures discussing different aspects of adapting the results of historical residential design with the needs of modern day living.
Living with History:
A richly illustrated talk tracing the development of residential houses from the 17th to the 20th century and interpreting the ways such historical space can be reinterpreted to accommodate contemporary living. The lecture looks at inspirational uses of the interiors of buildings as diverse as farmhouses, country estates and industrial buildings.
Antiquarian Minimalism:
