The Architecture of John Simpson: The Timeless Language of Classicism

The residential and institutional architecture and interior design by an eminent London-based classical architect. John Simpson is one of the worldâ€™s leading practitioners of new classicism, a contemporary architecture movement that continues the practice of classical and traditional architecture and embraces the virtues of durability, functionality, and beauty. Simpsonâ€™s design ethos revolves around the notion that architecture is a public art where each facade forms the character and shape of the public realmâ€”the streets, the squares, and the major civic spaces that we useâ€”and as such must use a language of building that is recognizable and draws on our collective cultural experience. His architecture is thus understandable in a moment and is functional; it is built to last, to be beautiful, and to ensure the comfort and ease of those who experience it, be it the Queenâ€™s Gallery at Buckingham Palace in London or an apartment in a historic building in New York. The work shown covers a wide range, from small-scale residential and apartment design to the country house and the town house to large-scale institutional designs. Featured projects include a new academic quadrangle at Eton College; the new school of architecture at the University of Notre Dame; rooms at Kensington Palace; the Stanhope Hotel renovation in New York; town houses in Belgravia and Chelsea, London; and much more.
