Introduction My father, a pipe smoker, was an unliterary man. And yet he loved books. He had an extraordinarily fine collection of antiquarian editions on Brazil. But I never saw him reading any of them and the only writing of his own that survives are his meticulous account books and a dry-as-dust book on how to set up a company in Brazil. We never tried to persuade him to write a memoir of his life – I think we knew that he wouldn’t have done so, for his Irishness was of a rather puritan kind and, despite an interesting life, he was not a man to talk about it or to see it in a wider perspective.

Perfectly positioned between elegant High Street Kensington, fashionable Notting Hill and adjacent to the mansions of Kensington Palace Gardens, Vicarage Gate is undoubtedly one of the most prestigious addresses in the capital. Each three, four and five bedroom apartment has been meticulously designed to complement both sophisticated entertaining and modern family living. Safety, security and discretion are assured by a highly trained, round-the-clock concierge team whose services are available every day of the year. Each apartment also comes with allocated underground parking and access to a private on-site gym.

  • 8 St. James's Square
    8 ST. JAMES’S SQUARE LONDON SW1 THE ONLY SQUARE IN ST JAMES’S View of the building from the square. WELCOME TO A NEW LANDMARK An exceptional location demands a building to match – this was the philosophy that inspired 8 St. James’s Square. Set in a prominent position on one of London’s pre-eminent squares, this building sets new standards in both architecture and quality of space. Perfectly in scale with the original grand townhouse façades that look onto the square. 8 St. James’s Square’s distinctive lines are illuminated at night, creating a dramatic presence at the gateway to the square. THE FINEST ADDRESS, THE FINEST OFFICES 8 St. James’s Square provides 65,534 sq ft (6,088 sq m) of the highest quality office space across eight open and expansive floors, with terraces on the upper floors offering the best views in St James’s and benefitting from natural light on three elevations. The stylish and welcoming reception is a celebration of refined design. In an echo of the site’s historic connection with Josiah Wedgewood, the space is now home to works by renowned Brazilian ceramicist Carina Ciscato. GENEROSITY OF SPACE The reception’s coffered ceiling elegantly flows through to the generously proportioned lift hall. Here, crisp white walls contrast with the curved jet-black surrounds of the four glass-backed lifts. OFFICES THAT WORK BEAUTIFULLY SECOND FLOOR Large open floor plates SECOND FLOOR The art glass feature windows overlooking Apple Tree Yard. THIRD FLOOR Column-free floors.

    An Investigation of the Architectural, Urban, and Exhibit Designs of the Tate Museums by Deirdre L. C.

Fishman, Co-chair Associate Professor Claire A. Zimmerman, Co-chair Associate Professor Scott D. Campbell Professor Raymond A. Silverman The chief function of the city is to convert power into form, energy into culture, dead matter into the living symbols of art, biological reproduction into social creativity. Lewis Mumford, The City in History (1961) For Eric ii Acknowledgements It is a pleasure to be able to thank those who have helped me to write and research this dissertation over many years. Thank you first to my dedicated co-chairs, Robert Fishman and Claire Zimmerman, and committee members, Scott Campbell and Ray Silverman, who despite my meanderings, stayed the course and provided timely and insightful commentary to buoy me along. Thank you also to David Scobey who many years ago first suggested I investigate the University of Michigan’s Museum Studies program; a program that has offered countless benefits to this project and my intellectual development. As the grateful recipient of a Museum Studies Fellowship for Doctoral Research in Museums, I was able to do the travel and research required to complete this work. In Ray Silverman and Brad Taylor, I found examples of generous and talented scholars who are also very fine people. Thank you. I am endlessly grateful to the University of Michigan’s Rackham Graduate School and Doctoral Program in Architecture for the fellowships and grant opportunities I have received throughout my years in Ann Arbor.

This apartment is in a building that we developed, but as it had been sold off plan, I was never able to enjoy the finished product, until this visit. Living on one floor in the city was such a special way of life that I came back to London determined to find a building that we could develop and create something similar in a fine urban location. Mayfair has undergone a renaissance, and has become known as an area at the centre of the cultural zeitgeist. Wrapped in a distinguished cloak of heritage and discretion are homes for the finest stores such as Hermès and Commes des Garçons and contemporary art galleries such as David Zwirner, Hauser & Wirth and Blain Southern. All of this alongside the bespoke traditions of Savile Row and Piccadilly, for which London was always famous, set the backdrop for what happened next.
