Administrative/Biographical History: George Augustus Henry Cavendish, 1st Earl of Burlington, nobleman and politician, was born on 21 March 1754. He was the third son of William Cavendish, 4th Duke of Devonshire, and Charlotte Elizabeth Boyle, Baroness Clifford; his eldest brother William became 5th Duke of Devonshire. Styled Lord George Cavendish for most of his life, he attended Trinity College Cambridge, and subsequently became an MP. He was MP for Knaresborough from 1775-1780; for Derby from 1780 to 1796; and for Derbyshire from 1797 to 1831. His title was a revival of that held by his grandfather, Richard Boyle, 3rd Earl of Burlington and 4th Earl of Cork. The Earl married Lady Elizabeth Compton, daughter of Charles Compton, 7th Earl of Northampton and Lady Ann Somerset, on 27 February 1782 at Trinity Chapel, Compton Street, St. George Hanover Square, London. They had six children: Caroline (d. 1867); William (1783- 1812); George Henry Compton (1784-1809); Anne (1787-1871); Henry Frederick Compton (1789-1873); and Charles Compton (1793-1863). The 1st Earl of Burlington died on 4 May 1834 at age 80 at Burlington House, Piccadilly, London.

  • A Project by Ordinary Architecture Architecture Space and Other Sites Across Burlington House 15 October 2016 – 15 January 2017
    Project Origins – A Project by Ordinary Architecture Architecture Space and other sites across Burlington House 15 October 2016 – 15 January 2017 This Autumn the Royal Academy has commissioned Ordinary Architecture to create a series of interventions throughout Burlington House that offer an intriguing contemporary counterpoint to the ‘origin myths’ of architecture. The history of architecture is full of ‘origin myths’, stories of how and where architecture began. What makes these ‘origin myths’ important is the way they describe the point at which architecture becomes culture, when the act of building becomes imbued with cultural meanings that can be read and interpreted. Origins – A Project by Ordinary Architecture takes these myths as the starting-point for a series of interventions around the RA that are intended to pose a new, provocative allegory of the foundations of contemporary architecture. Several of the interventions occupy prominent spaces that are currently empty or in transition during the ongoing redevelopment of the RA, thus forging an intriguing dialogue with the building’s own history. Other interventions can be found in lesser-known or often overlooked parts of the building, resulting in a reassessment of how the spaces are experienced. Realised through a number of techniques and materials, the interventions are grouped according to particular themes which together pose a new set of ‘origin myths’ of architecture. Embracing the creative possibilities of erroneous theories, misunderstood histories, personal mythologies and speculative ideas, Origins offers a powerful new perspective on the myths, conventions and histories that guide how architecture is both created and experienced. About Ordinary Architecture Ordinary Architecture was founded by Charles Holland and Elly Ward at the end of 2013.

  • Mayfair Area Guide
    Mayfair Area Guide Living in Mayfair • Mayfair encompasses the area situated between Oxford Street, Regent Street, Piccadilly and Park Lane, in the very heart of London’s West End, and adjacent to St James’s and its glorious Royal parks to the south. Overview • For over 300 years, Mayfair and St James’s have provided grand homes, luxury goods and services to the aristocracy. The area is characterised by its splendid period architecture, beautiful shop fronts, leading art galleries, auction houses, wine merchants, cosmopolitan restaurants, 5 star hotels and gentleman’s clubs. Did You Know • Mayfair is named after an annual 15 day long May Fair that took place on the site that is now Shepherd Market, from 1686 until 1764. • There is a disused tube station on Down Street that used to serve the Piccadilly line. It was closed in 1932 and was later used by Winston Churchill as an underground bunker during the Second World War. • No. 50 Berkeley Square is said to be the most haunted house in London, so much so that it will give any psychic an electric shock if they touch the external brickwork. • Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II was born in a house on Bruton Street and lived in Mayfair during her infancy. Her future husband Prince Philip had his stag night at The Dorchester. • The oldest outdoor statue in London is located above the entrance of Sotheby’s on New Bond Street. The Ancient Egyptian effigy of the lion-goddess Sekmet is carved from black igneous rock and dates to around 1320 BC.

  • In South Kensington, C. 1850-1900
    JEWELS OF THE NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM: GENDERED AESTHETICS IN SOUTH KENSINGTON, C. 1850-1900 PANDORA KATHLEEN CRUISE SYPEREK PH.D. HISTORY OF ART UCL 2 I, PANDORA KATHLEEN CRUISE SYPEREK confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. ______________________________________________ 3 ABSTRACT Several collections of brilliant objects were put on display following the opening of the British Museum (Natural History) in South Kensington in 1881. These objects resemble jewels both in their exquisite lustre and in their hybrid status between nature and culture, science and art. This thesis asks how these jewel-like hybrids – including shiny preserved beetles, iridescent taxidermised hummingbirds, translucent glass jellyfish as well as crystals and minerals themselves – functioned outside of normative gender expectations of Victorian museums and scientific culture. Such displays’ dazzling spectacles refract the linear expectations of earlier natural history taxonomies and confound the narrative of evolutionary habitat dioramas. As such, they challenge the hierarchies underlying both orders and their implications for gender, race and class. Objects on display are compared with relevant cultural phenomena including museum architecture, natural history illustration, literature, commercial display, decorative art and dress, and evaluated in light of issues such as transgressive animal sexualities, the performativity of objects, technologies of visualisation and contemporary aesthetic and evolutionary theory. Feminist theory in the history of science and new materialist philosophy by Donna Haraway, Elizabeth Grosz, Karen Barad and Rosi Braidotti inform analysis into how objects on display complicate nature/culture binaries in the museum of natural history.

  • Reimagining Mayfair Open Call RA
    In partnership with the Architects’ Journal Open Call Reimagining Mayfair: London’s next cultural quarter? Introduction The Royal Academy of Arts (RA) and the Architects’ Journal (AJ) are launching an open call for multidisciplinary teams to present new ideas for the area of Mayfair to the north of the RA’s Burlington Gardens building. In recent years the RA has developed detailed plans to restore and reconceive the interior spaces of its Burlington Gardens building, which is currently subject of a major, HLF-supported building project, beginning on-site in mid-2015. With this open call, the RA wishes to extend the focus beyond its walls and foster new ideas for the future of the surrounding area. The Brief We are looking for bold new ideas for reimagining the area of Mayfair directly to the north of the RA’s Burlington Gardens building. The area in focus is bounded by and includes Old Bond Street to the west, Clifford Street to the north, Savile Row to the east and Burlington Gardens to the south. Laid out by Lord Burlington in the 1720s and 1730s, this area has had an enduring association with tailoring, private art galleries and, latterly, luxury shopping. In recent years, it has benefited from the rejuvenation of Regent Street and will be further affected by the impending arrival of the new Crossrail station at Bond Street. Meanwhile, the RA is renovating its Burlington Gardens building with new galleries, learning studio and the reinstatement of a lecture theatre. A ‘link’ bridge will, for the first time, allow public access across the whole RA site.
