London of the Victorian and Edwardian period is all around us, so much so that we scarcely register the scale of building, and the ambition and inventiveness of the architecture of the period. The shops and pubs we use, great swathes of housing, as well as a number of new suburbs were developed during this time. The course will be thematically based, but seek to highlight not only the social forces, economic, religious and political, which drove the building of the city, but also to show how architects sought new (and old) forms to express the status and excitement of the world’s greatest city.
