Through an original drawing held in the RIBA’s collections, RIBA curator Charles Hind discusses the early history of a house in China, designed by British architect Oliver Hill in the 1920s for English missionaries.
This item is on display at the Empire Builders exhibition at the V&A until 15 June 2014, part of the RIBA’s Brits Season.
