Episode 5: Reading the History of London through its Architecture. In the FIEld with Dr. Rebecca Pollack
In this episode we chat with Dr. Rebecca Pollack, (Art Historian and Academic Faculty Director) about reading the architecture of a city as a text and understanding the complexities of society, history and power we might learn from the buildings that surround us. We also discuss art marking, the Great Fire of London and Christopher Wren's ambitious plan for rebuilding London, the importance of looking closely and, of course, she shares her city secret too.
