Biography

Lutyens studied architecture at South Kensington School of Art, London from 1885 to 1887. The Royal College of Art ( RCA) is a University in London, England. After college he joined the Ernest George and Harold Ainsworth Peto architectural practice. Ernest George RA (1839-1922 was an English Architect. His London office was known as "The Eton of architects' offices". Harold Ainsworth Peto (1854 - 1933 was an English Architect and Garden designer He was the son of Samuel Morton Peto of Somerleyton Hall. It was here that he first met Sir Herbert Baker. Sir Herbert Baker ( 9 June 1862 in Cobham Kent - 4 February 1946 in Cobham Kent was a British architect

Private practice

He began his own practice in 1888, his first commission being a private house at Crooksbury, Farnham, Surrey. Farnham is a Town in Surrey, England, within the Borough of Waverley. Surrey is a county in the South East of England and is one of the Home Counties. During this work, he met the garden designer and horticulturalist Gertrude Jekyll. Gertrude Jekyll ( November 29, 1843 – December 8, 1932) (surname pronounced /ˈdʒiˌkəl/) was an influential British garden In 1896 he began work on a house for Jekyll at Munstead Wood, Godalming, Surrey. Godalming is a town in the Waverley district of the county of Surrey, England, seven kilometres (four miles south of Guildford. Surrey is a county in the South East of England and is one of the Home Counties. It was the beginning of a fruitful professional partnership that would define the look of many Lutyens country houses.

The "Lutyens-Jekyll" garden overflowed with hardy shrub and herbaceous planting within a firm classicising architecture of stairs and balustraded terraces. This combined style, of the formal with the informal, exemplified by brick paths, softened by billowing herbaceous borders, full of lilies, lupins, delphiniums, and lavender was in direct contrast to the very formal bedding schemes favoured by the previous generation in the Victorian era. Lupin, often spelled lupine in North America, is the common name for members of the Genus Lupinus in the legume family Delphinium is a Genus of about 250 Species of annual biennial or perennial Flowering plants in the buttercup family Ranunculaceae, The Lavenders Lavandula are a Genus of about 25–30 species of Flowering plants in the mint family Lamiaceae, native to the Mediterranean Culture The Victorian fascination with novelty resulted in a deep interest in the relationship between modernity and cultural continuities This new "natural" style was to define the "English garden" until modern times.

Lutyens' fame grew largely through the popularity of the new lifestyle magazine Country Life created by Edward Hudson, which featured many of his house designs. Country Life is a British weekly Magazine. It covers the pleasures and joys of Rural life as well as the concerns of rural people Hudson was a great admirer of Lutyens' style and commissioned Lutyens for a number of projects, including Lindisfarne Castle and the Country Life headquarters building in London. Lindisfarne Castle is a 16th-century Castle located on Holy Island, near Berwick-upon-Tweed, Northumberland, England, much altered

His works

Thumb

Initially, his designs all followed the Arts and Crafts style, but in the early 1900s his work became more classical in style. The Arts and Crafts Movement was a British, Canadian, and American Aesthetic movement occurring in the last years of the 19th century and the For the works or study of works from classical antiquity see Classics Classicism, in the arts, refers generally to His commissions were of a varied nature from private houses to two churches for the new Hampstead Garden Suburb in London to Castle Drogo at Drewsteignton in Devon and on to his contributions to India's new imperial capital New Delhi (where he worked as chief architect with Herbert Baker and others).

David Lloyd George 1st Earl Lloyd George of Dwyfor OM, PC (17 January 1863 &ndash 26 March 1945 was a British Statesman and the only Lloyd George proposed a Catafalque — a low empty platform but it was Lutyens' idea for the taller monument. A catafalque is a raised Bier or platform often movable that is used to support the Casket, Coffin, or body of the deceased during a Funeral The design took less than six hours to complete. Many local war memorials (such as the one at All Saints, Northampton) are Lutyens designs — based on the Cenotaph.

He was commissioned in 1929 to design a new Roman Catholic cathedral in Liverpool. Liverpool ( is a City and Metropolitan borough of Merseyside, England along the eastern side of the Mersey Estuary Lutyens planned a vast building of brick and granite, topped with towers and a 510-foot dome, with commissioned sculpture work by Charles Sargeant Jagger and W C H King.

In 1945, a year after his death, A Plan for the City & County of Kingston upon Hull was published. Kingston upon Hull ( almost invariably referred Lutyens worked on the plan with Sir Patrick Abercrombie and both are credited as its co-authors. Sir Leslie Patrick Abercrombie ( 6 June 1879 in Ashton upon Mersey &mdash 23 March 1957 in Aston Tirrold, Didcot Abercrombie's introduction in the plan makes special reference to Lutyens' contribution. The plan was however rejected by the Councillors of Hull.

New Delhi

Largely designed by Lutyens over twenty or so years, New Delhi was chosen to replace Calcutta as the seat of the British Indian government in 1912; the project was completed in 1929 and officially inaugurated in 1931. Rashtrapati Bhavan ( Sanskrit for President House / Presidential Palace is the Official residence of the President of India, located in New Delhi New Delhi (नई दिल्ली ਨਵੀਂ ਦਿੱਲੀ نئی دلی is the Capital city of India. New Delhi (नई दिल्ली ਨਵੀਂ ਦਿੱਲੀ نئی دلی is the Capital city of India. In undertaking this project, Lutyens invented his own new Order of classical architecture, which has become known as the "Delhi Order" and was used by him for several designs in England, such as Campion Hall, Oxford. Campion Hall is one of the Permanent Private Halls of the University of Oxford in England. Unlike the more traditional British architects who came before him, he was both inspired by and incorporated various features from the local and traditional Indian architecture — something most clearly seen in the great drum-mounted Buddhist dome of the Viceregal Lodge, now Rashtrapati Bhavan. Rashtrapati Bhavan ( Sanskrit for President House / Presidential Palace is the Official residence of the President of India, located in New Delhi This palatial building, containing 340 rooms, is built on an area of some 330 acres (1. 3 km²) and incorporates a private garden also designed by Lutyens. The building was designed as the official residence of the Viceroy of India and is now the official residence of the President of India. The Governor-General of India (or from 1858 to 1947 the Viceroy and Governor-General of India) was the head of the British administration in India, and The President of India or Rashtrapati ( Hindi: राष्ट्रपति a Sanskrit Neologism, lit

The "Delhi Order" columns at the front entrance of the palace have bells carved into them which, it has been suggested, Lutyens had designed with the idea that as the bells were silent the British rule would never come to an end! At one time, more than 2,000 people were required to look after the building and serve the Viceroy's household.

The new city contains both the Parliament buildings and government offices (many designed by Herbert Baker) and was distinctively built of the local red sandstone using the traditional Mogul style.

When drawing up the plans for New Delhi Lutyens planned for the new city to lie southwest of the walled city of Shahjahanbad. His plans for the city also laid out the street plan for New Delhi consisting of wide tree-lined avenues.

Built in the spirit of British colonial rule, the point where the new imperial city and the older native settlement met was intended to be a market; it was there that Lutyens imagined the Indian traders would participate in "the grand shopping centre for the residents of Shahjahanabad and New Delhi", thus giving rise to the present D-shaped market seen today.

Lutyens' work in New Delhi is the focus of Robert Grant Irving's book Indian Summer. New Delhi (नई दिल्ली ਨਵੀਂ ਦਿੱਲੀ نئی دلی is the Capital city of India. Robert Grant Irving is an Author specializing in British Architecture and India

The bust of Lutyens in the former Viceroy's House is the only statue of a Westerner left in its original position in New Delhi, such is the respect in which he is held. Many of the garden-ringed villas in the Lutyens Bungalow Zone (LBZ) that were part of Lutyens' original scheme for New Delhi are under threat due to the constant pressure for development in Delhi.
