The Architecture of John Simpson: The Timeless Language of Classicism

London-based classical architect John Simpson shapes his design ethos around the notion that architecture is a public art, where each facade forms the character and shape of the public realm. Public streets, squares, and major civic spaces create an architectural language that is recognizable and shapes the collective cultural experience. As one of the world’s leading practitioners of New Classicism, a contemporary architecture movement that continues the practice of classical and traditional architecture, Simpson embraces the virtues of durability, functionality, and beauty.

Simpson’s architecture is built to last, to be beautiful, and to ensure the comfort and ease of those who experience it - be it the Queen’s Gallery at Buckingham Palace or an apartment in a historic building in New York. In his illustrated lecture, Simpson will present some of the thirty diverse projects highlighted in the recently published book, The Architecture of John Simpson: The Timeless Language of Classicism (Rizzoli New York, 2016). A range of work will be included, from small-scale residential and apartment designs, to country house, town house, and large-scale institutional projects.
