This is Monocle on Design,
a show where we discuss everything from architecture and craft to furniture and graphic design.
I'm Nick Minise.
On today's program, we find out how Sir John Soane was quite,
quite possibly the first modernist architect.
And we discuss the links between architecture
and film through the lens of the new award winning feature,
the Brutalist.
Plus a visit to a pottery studio and exhibition space in London.
All that coming up on Monocle On Design.
We start today's program at the Sir John Soanes Museum in London.
Here,
a new exhibition called Sewn
and Make It New explores how its namesake architect was a forerunner of the design style.
Working in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, Soane emphasised light,
open space, abstract forms and restrained use of ornament.
It's an approach that draws parallels with the likes of Le Corbusier,
Frank Lloyd Wright, Adolphe Loos and Erno Goldfinger.
We joined this program's producer, Mailie Evans, on a tour of the exhibition,
