Episode Synopsis
Send us a textSir John Soane wasn’t just an architect—he was a conjurer of space, a master illusionist with bricks and light.Born in 1753, Soane tore up the rulebook of classical design and rewrote it with flair, imagination, and a touch of magic. His crowning masterpiece, the Sir John Soane’s Museum in London, isn’t just a house—it’s a labyrinth of wonder, a living storybook where mirrors bend reality, walls hide secrets, and every corridor seems to whisper.Soane didn’t build monuments—he built experiences. Using light like a painter and space like a poet, he transformed rooms into theatres of mood and memory. He shattered expectations of what architecture could be, and in doing so, cast a long and enchanting shadow over generations to come.Join us as we step inside the strange and brilliant world of Sir John Soane—architect, visionary, magician. Once you enter, nothing looks quite the same again.Referal Links:Sir John SoaneSir John Soane MuseumSupport the showFor books written and published by Keith Hocton www.entrepotpublishing.com
