PREFACE During 1988 I was involved in the preparation of two exhibitions to be held in London at the Royal Institute of British Architects' Heinz Gallery. One of these planned to examine a single building form, the airport terminal, as it evolved during one decade— the 1930s. The other offered a retrospective of the work of the prolific ecclesiastical architect Sir Ninian Comper (1864-1960). Perhaps inevitably, I was prompted to attempt to compare Camper's work of the 1930s with the airport buildings and also with the contemporary designs for London Transport underground stations, as Charles Holden's drawings for these were being prepared concurrently for a subsequent exhibition. Thus, for example, Comper's St. Philip's, Cosham, Portsmouth, 1935-39,1 and Ramsgate Municipal Airport, 'This building was selected by both Lord Berners and Sir John Betjeman as one of the best recent British buildings in an opinion poll organized in 1939 by Architects' Journal. See p. 51. Another example of Comper's work, St. Mary's, Wellingborough (1904-1931), was included in the R. I. B. A . ’s Centennial Exhibition, 1934. It was seen as encouraging evidence of plurality of approach? the catalogue included the following comment: iii Reproduced with permission of the copyright owner.

Whilst St. Peter’s is remarkable for its revival of the central plan of the Renaissance church, Ramsgate airport epitomized the machine aesthetic, with its swept-back plan deliberately airplane-shaped (a conceit that could only fully be appreciated from the air). At the Winterthur Museum, my growing interest in material culture methodology prompted me to re-examine British architecture of the 1930s. If, as Jules David Prawn concluded, artifacts are "excellent and special indexes of culture, concretations of the realities of belief of other It is to be hoped that such beautiful work on such sound traditional lines will be studied and admired alongside the more daring adventures in what we know as modern art (p. 147). *Now demolished. 3The columns and vaults of St. Peter’s are of fibrous plaster on steel and concrete; the windows are cast in artificial stone.

V people in other times and places,"* what were the important beliefs in Britain in this period and why could I identify no coherent "cultural stylistic fingerprint"51. If the diversity that puzzled me was symptomatic of a diversity of ideals, I wanted to discover a method of understanding the relationship between these conflicting value systems. This led me to carry out a study of the architectural literature of the period, both in specialist and more general newspapers and magazines. I wanted to discover not only what opinions were held by contemporary critics, but what audience they appeared to believe themselves to be addressing and whether, in fact, they were successful in communicating with that audience. I should like to thank the many members of staff and fellow students at the Winterthur Museum and the University of Delaware who offered me advice and encouragement in connection with my thesis. I am particularly grateful to my adviser, Dr. Damie Stillman, to Amy Weisser, John Bacon and, in England, to Mark Turner of the Silver Studio and to my father, Roy Croft.

ABSTRACT This thesis analyses British architectural criticism of the 1930s in both specialist and general-interest books and periodicals. It concentrates on the reactions to European modernism, noting that the evident split between modernists and traditionalists is symptomatic of a universal polarity of opinion during this decade. Both modernist and traditionalist critics reinforced their arguments through the deliberate exploitation of linguistic style, paralleling the stylistic diversity of built form. The humor of architectural criticism and its intended audience are also examined. It is concluded that both traditionalists and,more surprisingly, modernists were writing for a middle-class intellectual elite. It is proposed that the discontinuity of architectural discourse caused by World War II allowed for a subsequent de-contextualized reading of 1930s criticism. vii Reproduced with permission of the copyright owner.

CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION The architectural literature of the 1930s is remarkable for a diversity similar to that exhibited by actual buildings erected during the period. There is a parallel split in both linguistic style and subject matter between those works that sought to promote International Style architecture and those that gave voice to more conservative opinions.

  • Herbert Baker
    Sir Herbert Baker Sir Herbert Baker (9th June 1862 – 4th February 1946) was an English architect who is remembered as a dominant force in South African architecture. He was one of the three principal architects appointed to the Imperial (now Commonwealth) War Graves Commission (IWGC) when the Commission was formed in 1917; designing many memorials and cemeteries in France and Belgium in the years following the end of World War I. This helpsheet is designed to be used by primary teachers as background information on Sir Herbert Baker. There is also a set of Sir Herbert Baker fact cards which can be shared with pupils. Both this helpsheet and the fact cards can be used as part of WMT’s Art unit of work: Great artists and war memorials. Early life Baker was born at Owlets, the family farm, near Cobham, Kent. He was the fourth son of nine children of Thomas Henry and Frances Georgina Baker. As a child Baker spent much of his time walking around the neighbourhood of his home, exploring the historical ruins. While exploring he observed the time honoured materials of brick and plaster and the various aspects of timber use all of which he learned to appreciate. Between 1875 and 1881 Baker attended the nearby Tonbridge School where lifelong qualities of leadership and loyalty were instilled in him. Training and work before World War I In 1879, Baker began his architecture studies under the supervision of his cousin Arthur Baker. His education followed the accepted pattern of a three-year apprenticeship while attending classes at the Architectural Association School and the Royal Academy Schools.

  • Tate Liverpool Henry Moore Educators' Pack
    Tate Liverpool Henry Moore Educators’ Pack Moon Head by Henry Moore “The small version of this piece was originally called ‘Head in Hand’, the hand being the piece at the back. When I came to make it full size, about eighteen inches high, I gave it a pale gold patina so that each piece reflected a strange, almost ghostly, light at the other. This happened quite by accident. It was because the whole effect reminded me so strongly of the light and shape of the full moon that I have since called it ‘Moon Head’.” Henry Moore Henry Moore, Moon Head, 1964 This sculpture by the British sculptor Henry Moore consists of two metal discs placed alongside each other. At first, these appear to be abstract forms, but as with most of Moore’s works, the shapes make reference to the human body. He has cut into each form, suggesting a mouth on one disc and fingers on the other. The forefinger and thumb are joined to form a gap, through which the head seems to be peering – perhaps at the moon. The sculpture also plays on the idea of the moon having a face. This work is unusual for Moore, whose sculptures are more typically bulky and solid. Moon Head is shallow in depth with tapered edges. Moore referred to these rims as being knife-edged, as one edge is sharp and the other blunt, like a knife. “Moon Head is one of several recent “knife edge” sculptures I’ve made - which have all come about through my interest in bone forms – for example the breast bones of birds – so light, so delicate, and yet so strong.” Henry Moore, 1981 Moore also thought that the “knife edge” works could have been subconsciously influenced by the sharp-edged Cycladic idols in the British Museum which he admired.
