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).
