The legacy of high-tech modernism, and architect Richard Rogers

Описание: How do you design a family home that becomes a manifesto?

Wimbledon House, also known as 22 Parkside, is a family home that became the cornerstone of high-tech modernism in architecture.

In this episode, James discusses the house and its architecture with Ab Rogers, Richard and Su Rogers' son who grew up within its walls and helped restore it decades later.

Ab reflects on his parents' architectural legacy, the ethos and care of Richard's designs, and how these ideas are being carried forwards in his own studio work.

This episode touches on architecture as empathy, from hospital design as a "third carer", to experimental biodegradable pavilions in Thailand.

● How Ab Rogers reinterprets high-tech architecture today
● Why Richard Rogers saw architecture as a lifelong civic project
