Discover London's most extraordinary building and the art of modern architecture. A unique exhibition marking the centenary of visionary architect Sir Denys Lasdun in his modernist masterpiece the Royal College of Physicians, which turns 50 this year. This remarkable retrospective brings together the architect and his architecture. Tracing Lasdun’s career from early years at radical practice Tecton to international acclaim. Rarely-seen architectural models display the architect’s work at the Universities of London and Cambridge, Keeling House and the ever-controversial National Theatre, plus his monumental unrealised scheme for a combined National Theatre and Opera House on London’s Southbank. The private side of the genius is revealed through personal effects, photographs (including a portrait by Cartier-Bresson), correspondence and even a cartoon by friend Ronald Searle. All in the setting of the Grade 1 listed masterpiece of modernism that made his name. Royal College of Physicians
