  • Picturesque Architecture 2Nd Term 1956 (B3.6)
    Picturesque Architecture 2nd Term 1956 (B3.6) In a number of lectures given during the term Professor Burke has shown how during the 18th century, in both the decorative treatment of interiors and in landscape gardening, the principle of symmetry gradually gave way to asymmetry; and regularity to irregularity. This morning I want to show how architecture itself was affected by this new desire for irregularity. It is quite an important point. How important we can see by throwing our thoughts back briefly for a moment over the architectural past we have traced during the year. The Egyptian temple, the Mesopotamian temple, the Greek temple, the Byzantine church, the Gothic church, the Renaissance church, the Baroque church, the rococo country house and the neo- classical palace were all governed by the principle of symmetry. However irregular the Gothic itself became by virtue of its piecemeal building processes, or however wild the Baroque and the Rococo became in their architectural embellishments, they never failed to balance one side of the building with the other side, about a central axis. Let us turn for a moment to our time. Symmetry is certainly not, as we see in out next slide, an overriding rule of contemporary planning. If a symmetrical plan is chosen by an architect today, it is the result of a deliberate choice, chosen for being most suited for the circumstances, and not, as it was in the past, an accepted architectural presupposition dating back to the very beginnings of architecture itself. Today plans are far more often asymmetrical than symmetrical.

  • A Place for Music: John Nash, Regent Street and the Philharmonic Society of London Leanne Langley
    A Place for Music: John Nash, Regent Street and the Philharmonic Society of London Leanne Langley On 6 February 1813 a bold and imaginative group of music professionals, thirty in number, established the Philharmonic Society of London. Many had competed directly against each other in the heady commercial environment of late eighteenth-century London – setting up orchestras, promoting concerts, performing and publishing music, selling instruments, teaching. Their avowed aim in the new century, radical enough, was to collaborate rather than compete, creating one select organization with an instrumental focus, self-governing and self- financed, that would put love of music above individual gain. Among their remarkable early rules were these: that low and high sectional positions be of equal rank in their orchestra and shared by rotation, that no Society member be paid for playing at the group’s concerts, that large musical works featuring a single soloist be forbidden at the concerts, and that the Soci- ety’s managers be democratically elected every year. Even the group’s chosen name stressed devotion to a harmonious body, coining an English usage – phil-harmonic – that would later mean simply ‘orchestra’ the world over. At the start it was agreed that the Society’s chief vehicle should be a single series of eight public instrumental concerts of the highest quality, mounted during the London season, February or March to June, each year. By cooperation among their fee-paying members, they hoped to achieve not only exciting performances but, crucially, artistic continuity and a steady momentum for fine music that had been impossible before, notably in the era of the high-profile Professional Concert of 1785-93 and rival Salomon-Haydn Concert of 1791-2, 1794 and Opera Concert of 1795.
