The Brilliance of Brunel: The man who built the modern world – Ian Swankie (UK)

Brunel merged art with engineering and science and was both pioneer and a revolutionary.

A Londoner with a contagious enthusiasm for art and architecture, Ian Swankie, is an official guide at Tate Modern, Tate Britain, Guildhall Art Gallery and St Paul’s Cathedral. He is an Accredited Lecturer for The Arts Society in the UK.
