The Brillance of Brunel - The man who built the modern world
About
Presented by Ian Swankie (UK)British people and visitors to the UK still find themselves amongst the infrastructure created by Isambard Kingdom Brunel in the 19th century. He changed the face of British landscape with his ground-breaking projects, including railways, bridges, tunnels, ships, and grand buildings such as the magnificent Paddington Station. He merged art with engineering and science, and was a pioneer and a revolutionary. And he was brilliant. We will look at the man, his background, his work, and his legacy.
Ian Swankie is a lecturer specialising in art and architecture. Also qualified and active City of London and City of Westminster guide, and an official guide at Tate Modern and Tate Britain.
