About
Architect George Saumarez Smith discusses his work across historic-property repair and restoration, new houses and urban planning, and the classical principles behind his approach. The talk considers how the English country-house tradition informs contemporary architecture and coincides with the release of his 2026 book The Romance of Classicism: Designing the English Country Home for Today.
