Sir Nicholas Grimshaw cbe pra 6 7 Architecture at the Royal Academy of Arts 9 At the request of a group of distinguished artists, led in particular by the architect Sir William Chambers and the painter Benjamin West, King George III signed an ‘Instrument of Foundation’ on 10 December 1768 to create an entirely new kind of British institution for the promotion of the ‘Arts of Design’ in painting, sculpture and architecture. The King’s new Royal Academy of Arts was, and continues to be, unique in being independent of the state, privately funded, and run by artists of merit, a self-perpetuating group of Royal Academicians, who alone are eligible to appoint new members to their strictly limited number. Promotion of the arts was to be ‘by instruction and by emulation’,1 chiefly through exhibition – the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition (originally known as the Annual Exhibition) – and training at the Royal Academy Schools. Although the King’s new Royal Academy of Arts was not the first society in London to offer artists the benefits of drawing from the life model and from plaster casts, or to mount annual exhibitions where they might compete for public fame, the Royal Academy’s combination of these activities was unique. Moreover, the Royal Academy Schools offered, for the first time, a systematic training of artists and architects as opposed to the system of apprenticeship offered in individual artist’s studios and architect’s offices. Immediately upon its creation, the Royal Academy became the national powerhouse of design. Every newly elected Royal Academician receives royal approbation in the form of an engraved Diploma, signed by the monarch, which sanctions the privilege Fig. 1: The Diploma bearing the royal sign-manual of Queen Victoria, dated 28 December 1859, for the 1. raa/pc/10, Annual Report, 1859, p. 6. of placing the initials ‘ra’ after his or her name (fig. 1).

In the early days, presentations Selection Committee, and were expected to house the Diploma Galleries for the display of the to participate in administration and had to be made before the Diploma was received; today there is a grace period of six Diploma Works. teaching.

This accomplished piece of art, this masterwork, is thus in the Royal Academy Schools.

    The History of Luttrellstown Demesne, Co. Dublin

    NORTHERN IRELAND HERITAGE GARDENS TRUST OCCASIONAL PAPER, No 4 (2015) 'Without Rival in our Metropolitan County' - The History of Luttrellstown Demesne, Co. Dublin Terence Reeves-Smyth Luttrellstown demesne, which occupies around 600 acres within its walls, has long been recognised as the finest eighteenth century landscape in County Dublin and one of the best in Ireland. Except for the unfortunate incorporation of a golf course into the eastern portion of its historic parkland, the designed landscape has otherwise survived largely unchanged for over two centuries. With its subtle inter-relationship of tree belts and woodlands, its open spaces and disbursement of individual tree specimens, together with its expansive lake, diverse buildings and its tree-clad glen, the demesne, known as 'Woodlands' in the 19th century, was long the subject of lavish praise and admiration from tourists and travellers. As a writer in the Irish Penny Journal remarked in October 1840: ‘considered in connection with its beautiful demesne, [Luttrellstown] may justly rank as the finest aristocratic residence in the immediate vicinity of our metropolis.. in its natural beauties, the richness of its plantations and other artificial improvements, is without rival in our metropolitan county, and indeed is characterised by some features of such exquisite beauty as are rarely found in park scenery anywhere, and which are nowhere to be surpassed’.1 Fig 1.

So, it seems appropriate now to reflect more widely beyond the normal hori- zon of the Annual Report. Our founders in 1768 comprised some of the greatest figures of the British Enlightenment, King George III, Reynolds, West and Chambers, supported and advised by a wider circle of thinkers and intellectuals such as Edmund Burke and Samuel Johnson. It is no exaggeration to suggest that their original inten- tions for what the Academy should be are closer to realisation than ever before. They proposed a school, an exhibition and a membership.

The Architecture of Joseph Michael Gandy (1771-1843) and Sir John Soane (1753-1837): An Exploration Into the Masonic and Occult Imagination of the Late Enlightenment Abstract In examining select works of English architects Joseph Michael Gandy and Sir John Soane, this dissertation is intended to bring to light several important parallels between architectural theory and freemasonry during the late Enlightenment. Both architects developed architectural theories regarding the universal origins of architecture in an attempt to establish order as well as transcend the emerging historicism of the early nineteenth century. There are strong parallels between Soane's use of architectural narrative and his discussion of architectural 'model' in relation to Gandy's understanding of 'trans-historical' architecture. The primary textual sources discussed in this thesis include Soane's Lectures on Architecture, delivered at the Royal Academy from 1809 to 1836, and Gandy's unpublished treatise entitled the Art, Philosophy, and Science of Architecture, circa 1826.

INTRODUCTION 1. INTRODUCTION This report has been prepared for the Estates and Facilities Division of University College London (UCL). UCL needs to make alterations to the Wilkins building to improve access to the library (on its upper floors) by the end of the year in order to comply with the terms of the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA). In December 2003 Alan Baxter & Associates produced draft Management Guidelines for UCL which identified what is significant about the UCL buildings and to help streamline the process of gaining future listed building consents. This report is based on these Management Guidelines but includes information from the recent opening-up works. The Wilkins Building is Grade I listed. The new access proposals involve removing a staircase, one of which was inserted by TL Donaldson in 1849-51, and installing a lift (along with a new staircase) to provide access for the mobility impaired to the library. This report has been written to accompany an application for listed building consent, and to demonstrate that the alterations are required by the DDA, and are justifiable in terms of the criteria set out in PPG15.
