The Architecture Foundation has kindly chosen John Vanbrugh: The Drama of Architecture as one of six books for its Book Week, showing short – well, in my case, not so short – films about what it describes as ‘the best architecture books of the year’.

I hope this will bring the book to the attention to architects as much as architectural historians – and, also, to listeners in the States where it is being published in March, more or less at the same time as the opening of the exhibition at Sir John Soane’s Museum.

Happy Christmas !
