Sir Edwin Lutyens

 

Sir Edwin Lutyens (1869-1944) is often described as the greatest British architect of his age and possibly of all time. His prolific career encompassed manifest numbers of country houses, fine commercial buildings, monuments and, as perhaps his greatest achievement, the Viceroy's House, the centre piece of New Delhi, the city for which he was responsible. Stylistically, he never fitted into any single school or movement in as much as the mark he left was always his own.

Although influenced early on by the Arts and Crafts movement of his youth, and later by the discipline of the classical ideal, his eclecticism was such that he was more concerned with the intricacies of his own aesthetic principles.

The architectural historian Henry Russell Hitchcock called Lutyens "the last traditionalist." His interest in vernacular architecture and traditional building techniques certainly set him apart from his contemporaries who were leading the Modernist Movement. Lutyens produced over 300 buildings, the majority of which were large country houses. His work is characterized by a strong succession of spatial events, with very clear connections between the house and surrounding gardens (often designed with the great landscape architect Gertrude Jekyll).
