Thomas Jefferson declared Monticello his “essay in architecture.” This week’s livestreams will focus on Jefferson’s passion for architecture, Monticello’s forty-year construction, and the enslaved craftsmen and hired artisans who turned Jefferson’s designs into an icon of American architecture. Watch this architecture-focused Q&A with Thomas Jefferson, interpreted by our own Bill Barker.
