In this Apollo podcast, Thomas Marks meets architect Amanda Levete to discuss the V&A’s Exhibition Road Quarter, which has been designed by her architectural practice AL_A. What does the museum’s large new courtyard mean for public space in London, and what were the challenges of adding to the collection of historic buildings in South Kensington? Scroll down for images of some of the buildings and spaces discussed in this podcast.
