Paul Shepheard is a British architect and writer known for his philosophical and multidisciplinary approach to architecture.

As a writer, he is best known for books that explore architecture in relation to broader cultural, technological, and existential themes. His notable works include What is Architecture? (1994), The Cultivated Wilderness (1997), Artificial Love (2003), and How to Like Everything (2013). His most recent book, and the focus of our interview, is called Autobiography, which was published in 2024 by Canalside press. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
