The house was designed by Samuel Pepys Cockerell, built in 1805, and is a notable example of Neo-Mughal architecture, a 19th-century reinterpretation of 16th and 17th-century architecture from the Mughal Empire. At the time of its construction, the British India was becoming the "jewel in the crown" of the world's largest empire. The Gordon Russell Design Museum celebrates the work of the renowned twentieth century furniture designer, Sir Gordon Russell (1892-1980), and that of his company, which operated for over sixty years in Broadway, Worcestershire. The Museum is located in the original Grade II listed drawing office and workshop and was opened by Sir Terence Conran in April 2008.

    RELIGIOUS RELIGIOUS Religious Architecture: Anthropological Perspectives develops new anthropological perspectives on religious architecture, including mosques, churches, temples and synagogues. Borrowing from a range of theoretical perspectives on space-making and material religion, this volume looks at how religious buildings take their RELIGIOUS place in opposition to the secular surroundings and the neoliberal city; how they, as evocations of the sublime, help believers to move beyond the boundaries of modern subjectivity; and how international heritage status may conflict with their function as community centres. The volume includes contributions from a range of anthropologists, ARCHITECTURE ARCHITECTURE social historians, and architects working in Brazil, India, Italy, Mali, the Netherlands, Russia, Spain, and the UK.

  • Paradise Lost Se
    PARADISE LOST ? Jim Markland 2 August 2018 Preface Over many years a long and deep relationship was carved out between Cheltenham and British India. Investigating this can be a fascinating and rewarding experience. The many connections that resulted provide portals to what at times was the colourful exotic world of Mughals and Maharajahs and, at others, one in which great adventures and sometimes dreadful tragedies unfolded. The story here is hopefully a useful starting point for anyone wishing to explore those paths. Welcome to a world long gone! Here the term Anglo-Indian is used for consistency with some older usage to denote British people who served in India. In India that same term could be used to denote people of mixed race. India of course, in the context of this document, means a territory far larger than the current boundaries of that country. Hiding in Plain Sight So much of our history happened overseas. That is true, however, unlike some of its former colonies, Britain has never been good at remembering those who served overseas. As far as Cheltenham is concerned overseas means one place in particular …. India …and with that The Honourable East India Company; an organisation whose tentacles, at times, reached across all the oceans from New England to Nootka Sound. Yet Cheltenham, indeed, seems to have done its best to forget those many Anglo- Indians, distinguished or otherwise, who came to take its waters as a restorative, to sojourn or to live in the town whether during the times of the Company or later during the Raj.

  • The Use of Orientalist Stereotypes and the Production of Kitsch: Tourism Architecture in Turkey in the Face of Social Change1
    International Journal of Science Culture and Sport December 2013; 1(4) ISSN : 2148-1148 Doi : 10.14486/IJSCS37 The Use of Orientalist Stereotypes and the Production of Kitsch: Tourism Architecture in Turkey in the Face of Social Change1 Zeynep Çiğdem UYSAL ÜREY Yrd. Doç. Dr., Çankaya University, Department of Architecture Cukurambar Mah. Öğretmenler Cad. No: 14, 06530 Ankara, TURKEY Tel: 0 312 284 45 00, Faks: 0 312 286 40 78 - e-mail: [email protected] Abstract This study aims to examine the imposition of an orientalist perspective to architectural productions and intends to show how that perspective creates examples of kitsch by means of its use of orientalist stereotypes. It is acknowledged today that there is a strong inclination in touristic contexts to form and enliven imaginary worlds that conjure superficial ideas about the settings in tourists‟ minds, by effectively using architecture. This is specifically true when the touristic settings are located in the so called „Orient‟ or in contexts that have lineage with orientalist dreams. Such practices by the use of stereotypical orientalist images in architecture give rise to the creation of „kitsch‟. In this study, these concepts are studied theoretically and exemplified by way of architectural cases from Turkey. The cases are comprised of five specific touristic establishments in Antalya, which are namely the Topkapı Palace World of Wonders, Kempinski Hotel the Dome, Mardan Palace, Crowne Plaza Hotel, and Delphin Palace Hotel. These architectural productions are analyzed formally by in-site survey and discussed as architectural consequences of the orientalist standpoint. It has been found out that the selected touristic establishments consciously use the stylistic stereotypes of the Orient to recall stereotypical Oriental images.

Down the drive, Under the early yellow leaves of oaks; One lodge is Tudor, one in Indian style. The bridge, the waterfall, the Temple Pool And there they burst on us, the onion domes, Chajjahs and chattris made of amber stone: ‘Home of the Oaks’, exotic Sezincote. Stately and strange it stood, the Nabob’s house, Indian without and coolest Greek within2 1 Jan Sibthorpe would like to thank Edward Peake for his generous access to Sezincote house and grounds and for his time in discussing Sezincote’s contemporary life. For information about visiting Sezincote, visit http://www.sezincote.co.uk/. Copyright for this research remains with Jan Sibthorpe. 2From Summoned by Bells by John Betjeman, 1960. Betjeman - celebrated writer, broadcaster and poet - was a regular visitor to Sezincote in the 1920s, as a guest of the Dugdales, the then owners of Sezincote. 1 The East India Company at Home, 1757-1857 – UCL History Sezincote House and its gardens, a mirage of India in the heart of the Cotswolds, were created, largely as they are seen today, in the early nineteenth century. The house, outbuildings and (pleasure) gardens, owe their creation in the ‘Indian manner’ to the collaboration of its owner, Sir Charles Cockerell, (1755 – 1837), his brother, the architect Samuel Pepys Cockerell (1754 – 1827), the artist Thomas Daniell (1749 – 1840) and to a lesser extent the landscape gardener, Humphry Repton (1752 – 1818).
