The language  of John Simpson&#8217;s architecture, which derives from the fifth century BC,  has been daringly applied to new uses and an instant landmark of  exceptional interest has been created. Through a judicious combination  of Classical richness and warehouse-like workspace the Walsh Family Hall  provides a humane and joyous series of spaces, which elevates the  spirits of those entering and passing through it. This book describes  not only the architecture of the Walsh Family Hall but the process  whereby it came into existence, with written contributions from the  generous donors, Matt and Joyce Walsh; Dean Michael Lykoudis, who  commissioned the building; and some of the students who work in these  uplifting surroundings. Further educational works by John Simpson such  as his new &#8216;yard&#8217; for Eton College and major new additions and  improvements to the Royal College of Music in London are described, with  an essay by Simpson explaining his approach. All these works are  presented and explored with full color commissioned photography, drawn  plans and original sketches throughout. John Simpson Architects believes  that Classicism can enhance life in the 21st century by creating  inspirational spaces that relate to the proportions of the human body &#8211; a  view of architecture that is triumphantly demonstrated in the Academy  that is the Walsh Family Hall.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Academy celebrates the architect John Simpson&#8217;s newly finished building for the School of Architecture at the University of Notre Dame, Indiana: the Walsh Family Hall.
