About Crude Hints

In the 1813 text Crude Hints towards an history of my house John Soane wrote a description of his unique house-museum. In this text the architect, collector, and Professor of Architecture presented his home as a future ruin and speculated on how these remains might be interpreted upon their future discovery.

Soane himself would offer tours of his home to his guests, performing inside what had come to be described as his ‘academy of architecture’. Continuing in this tradition, the Architectural Association Night School invites a selection of people to reflect on Soane’s house and collections, and to host their own own ‘academy of architecture’ for the evening.
