In conjunction with Rockwood's innovative art installation, The Nature of Gothic, discover the British design sources that influenced the picturesque appearance of Rockwood and many notable houses from the 1800's. Each 45-minute lecture will be followed by low-key opportunities to discuss important design publications from the period and see how they relate to The Nature of Gothic art installations.
