About this episode

In this episode, Luke and George discuss four intriguing pieces of architecture in a new format.

This episode takes a new format! Instead of fitting into a larger series or a particular theme, Luke and George simply chose two interesting pieces of architecture each that they wanted to discuss and draw out particular ideas or themes from. Let us know if you liked this format, and we will consider doing more of them in between regular episodes! In this episode, we discussed the Temple of Apollo at Didyma, the Hermitage of San Baudelio de Berlanga, the Mausoleum of Theodoric at Ravenna and Lutyens' Mercantile Marine War Memorial at Tower Hill, London. You can follow along with images of the buildings dicussed on our Instagram feed or on YouTube: https://youtu.be/N9o4-pz4dM0 Edited by Matthew Lloyd Roberts.
