Résumé:
John Soane (17531837) was one of the most influential and original of all English architects. In this lavishly illustrated biography, Gillian Darley places Soane's life and buildings side by side, examining both. Born the son of a bricklayer, Soane was a self-made man, egotistic, irascible, with encyclopedic interests. He built himself a remarkable town house that he filled with treasures and left in trust to the nation. By 1800 he was rich and successful, designing both private houses for powerful clients and public works. Consummate at securing patronage, he was the personal architect to two prime ministers. He was architect to the Bank of England, to Chelsea Hospital, and to the United Grand Lodge of Freemasons. He designed the Dulwich Art Gallery, the first purpose-built art gallery in Britain. Possessed throughout his life by a dream to rebuild the Houses of Parliament, he developed many visionary schemes. Late in life, he built the new Law Courts at Westminster and many of the premises for the growing departments of state.

Résumé:
Following on the heels of Mecanoo's School of Economics and Management and OMA/Rem Koolhaas's Educatorium is the recently opened Minnaert Building designed by Neutelings Riedijk. Energy-saving, sustainable and low-maintenance are the qualities informing this singularly designed rust-red building with its columns shaped like letters. These qualities are best expressed in the main hall. Here rainwater streaming in through large rooflights is collected in an enormous basin, thereby making a major contribution to the heat recovery and natural ventilation in the building.
