This week I talked to author and journalist Dominic Bradbury, whose writing over his career has focused on showcasing and exploring the world’s most inspiring architecture and design, with his recent writing particularly focusing on the Mid-Century Modern Style.

We talk about his upcoming book – The Atlas of Mid-Century Modern Masterpieces , as well as his reading influences from his parents – who were both deeply bookish and who introduced him to the authors and designers from around East Anglia in the 1960s.  

This is a fascinating and wide-ranging conversation about where the world of architecture and design stand now and what we can expect looking forward. It is also a fascinating look into the early reading life of someone who grew up surrounded by some of Britain’s most influential authors.
