Architectural historian Clive Aslet explores how architect Sir Edwin Lutyens built his relationship with the publication Country Life and its founder Edward Hudson, a partnership which established his legacy as one of the greatest British architects.
Clive’s lecture coincides with the re-publication of the long-out-of-print Lutyens Memorial Volumes, the definitive collection of the architect’s plans, elevations and working drawings. The original series was long sought-after by architects and enthusiasts and soon became hard to find, but now has been re-published for a new generation who wish to study Lutyens’ work and influence. The first two volumes are now available at classicist.org/books, and the third volume will be released in Spring 2024.
This program is presented by the Institute of Classical Architecture & Art (ICAA), a nonprofit educational organization committed to promoting and preserving the practice, understanding, and appreciation of classical design.
