In search of authenticity

Jinny Blom speaks to her friend of over two decades, the eminent historic buildings architect Ptolemy Dean, whose eponymous practice specialises in conservation work of historic buildings in the UK. Ptolemy is Surveyor of the Fabric of Westminster Abbey, work that earned him his OBE, and was a great personal favourite of Queen Elizabeth II. Having worked together on many projects over the years restoring and advancing with new ingredients the vernacular buildings of the British Isles, the pair sit down to talk about the relationship between buildings and the landscape. Production: Danielle Radojcin, In Talks WithSound: Warren Borg at Worgie ProductionsOriginal music commissioned by Jinny Blom, composed by Peter Vettese and produced by Marc Fox  Hosted on Acast.
