John Simpson, Esq., CVO, RIBA (John Simpson Architects, London), Britain’s premier classical architect, will present his work and sign copies of his recently-published monograph, The Architecture of John Simpson: The Timeless Language of Classicism.
Simpson is the architect of the Queen’s Gallery at Buckingham Palace and of the first public building in Poundbury, an urban extension to town of Dorchester, built according to architectural principles advocated by The Prince of Wales. He has designed projects at the universities of Oxford and Cambridge, to name only a few of his firm’s works. His practice carries out projects across the world, in Britain, Europe and the USA. Its work ranges from the design of a major new university facility or an urban extension of a town to the design of an individual house or interior of a shop. In general, the emphasis within the work of the practice is to create an architecture which is timeless: one that uses updated traditional forms to respond to contemporary requirements and modern technology.
In 2014, Simpson won the competition for the new School of Architecture building at the University of Notre Dame in South Bend, Indiana.
