With roles as both deputy chairman of English Heritage and chairman of the National Trust, the author and broadcaster is well placed to take us on a tour of why Britain looks like it does and the impact of 20th century modernism on communities. He’ll talk about why everyone is a consumer of architecture and makes the case for the importance of everyone learning to speak its language. 'Provocative, elegant, intriguing - Jenkins is a bold, imaginative writer, brilliant at challenging old assumptions and encouraging you to look at British architecture in a new light' Rory Stewart
