In August 2026, the Interrogating Heritage Cluster visited The Cosmic House and Home House, London.
The Cosmic House is one of the key landmarks in the development of Post-Modernist architecture. A hugely influential distillation of the ideas at the heart of Post-Modern thought in culture and science, it is a remarkable testament to the polymathic talents of Maggie and Charles Jencks.
Home House, located at 20 Portman Square in Marylebone, is a spectacular 18th-century Georgian townhouse designed by architect Robert Adam. It served as the original temporary headquarters for the Courtauld Institute of Art, which was co-founded by the industrialist and art collector Samuel Courtauld.
