Plans for the new Carnegie Pavilion at Headingley Carnegie Cricket Ground have moved a step closer to fruition, with news that Leeds City Council has granted planning permission for the project.
The building is the brainchild of architect Will Alsop, famed for his avant-garde, modernist buildings. He cites Le Corbusier, Sir John Soane, Mies van der Rohe and John Vanbrugh as his architectural heroes. His approach to architecture was expressed in an interview with The Observer in 2007 when he said: "I like people. I hope it shows."
Work on the pioneering design - a crystalline structure topped with a green, undulating roof - is scheduled to begin this November.
The scheme combines new world-class cricket, media and hospitality facilities and will also act as a teaching space for
Leeds Met.
During the summer period, the 4,000 sqm building is intended to operate mainly as a cricket pavilion and media centre, whilst during the academic year, the pavilion will allow students access to modern media facilities, sporting, hospitality and event management experiences.
Stephen Willis, Director of Finance and Resources at Leeds Met said: "Today's announcement of planning approval for the Carnegie Pavilion marks another exciting and significant development for Leeds Metropolitan University, students, Yorkshire County Cricket Club, the city of Leeds and Yorkshire as a whole. Headingley Carnegie Stadium is one of Yorkshire's best known and loved landmarks, hosting a number of fantastic events including international cricket.
"The new development will facilitate significant and essential enhancements to the stadium. It will also provide opportunities for Leeds Met students to study in a state of the art environment and learn through unrivalled practical experiences at the many events held at the stadium."
Stewart Regan, Chief Executive of Yorkshire County Cricket Club, added: "This is fantastic news for the club, its members, players and partners. Leeds Met and ourselves have worked incredibly hard with our advisors over the past 18 months to deliver a project which satisfies everyone's needs.
"We are delighted with the outcome and look forward to commencing work on the Carnegie Pavilion later this year. This development will go a long way towards helping the club retain international cricket here in Yorkshire. We are indebted to
Leeds Met, Leeds City Council and Yorkshire Forward for their assistance, support and hard work over many months.
"The Carnegie Pavilion, when completed, will become the single most-viewed building in Yorkshire, seen by all of 500 million people on TV during international cricket events. We are confident it will become a landmark building for the city of Leeds."
Shaun Russell, of SMC Alsop, said: "The Carnegie Pavilion has undoubtedly been a real challenge for our joint clients and the whole design team - an unusual dual-use building on a highly constrained site and surrounded by residential properties - and we are extremely pleased with the outcome of the planning application. We consider the Carnegie Pavilion to be a genuinely ground-breaking project and we want to see it built."

In the 17th century the architect Louis Le Vau built for Louis XIV a pair of isolated ranges mirroring one another across a parterre to one side of the keep, suited for the Queen Mother and Cardinal Mazarin, but rebuilding was never pursued once Versailles occupied all attentions. Some splendid apartments show the earliest phase of Louis XIV style, before the example of Vaux-le-Vicomte presented the Sun King with a worthy model. The unlucky builder of Vaux, the minister Nicolas Fouquet found himself transferred to Vincennes, to much less comfortable lodgings. In 1691 another unwilling lodger was John Vanbrugh, soon to become a playwright and architect, who drew some of his Baroque "gothick" from his experience of Vincennes, it has been argued.

Blenheim Palace was the stately home that is the residence of Dukes of Marlborough and birthplace of Sir Winston Churchill.
Sir Winston Leonard Spencer-Churchill, KG, OM, CH, TD, DL, FRS, RA (30 November 1874 -- 24 January 1965) was a British politician who was the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1940 to 1945 and again from 1951 to 1955. Widely regarded as one of the greatest wartime leaders of the 20th century, Churchill was also an officer in the British Army, a historian, a writer, and an artist. He is the only British Prime Minister to have won the Nobel Prize in Literature, and was the first person to be made an honorary citizen of the United States.
Churchill was born into the aristocratic family of the Dukes of Marlborough, a branch of the Spencer family. His father, Lord Randolph Churchill, was a charismatic politician who served as Chancellor of the Exchequer; his mother, Jennie Jerome, was an American socialite. As a young army officer, he saw action in British India, The Sudan, and the Second Boer War. He gained fame as a war correspondent and wrote books about his campaigns.

Blenheim Palace /ˈblɛnəm/ (pronounced "Blen-im") is a monumental country house situated in Woodstock, Oxfordshire, England, residence of the dukes of Marlborough. It is the only non-royal non-episcopal country house in England to hold the title of palace. The palace, one of England's largest houses, was built between 1705 and circa 1722. Blenheim Palace was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987.[1]
Its construction was originally intended to be a gift to John Churchill, 1st Duke of Marlborough, from a grateful nation in return for military triumph against the French and Bavarians at the Battle of Blenheim. However, it soon became the subject of political infighting, which led to Marlborough's exile, the fall from power of his duchess, and irreparable damage to the reputation of the architect Sir John Vanbrugh.
Designed in the rare, and short-lived, English Baroque style, architectural appreciation of the palace is as divided today as it was in the 1720s.[2] It is unique in its combined usage as a family home, mausoleum and national monument. The palace is also notable as the birthplace and ancestral home of Sir Winston Churchill.

Kensington Palace is a royal residence set in Kensington Gardens, in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea in London, England. It has been a residence of the British Royal Family since the 17th century, and is the official London residence of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Prince Harry, the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester, the Duke and Duchess of Kent, and Prince and Princess Michael of Kent.
Today, the State Rooms are open to the public and managed by the independent charity Historic Royal Palaces, a nonprofit organization that does not receive public funds.[1] The offices and private accommodation areas of the Palace remain the responsibility of the Royal Household and are maintained by the Royal Household Property Section.Kensington Palace began as a simple two-story Jacobean mansion built by Sir George Coppin in 1605 in the village of Kensington. The mansion was purchased in 1619 by Heneage Finch, 1st Earl of Nottingham and was then known as Nottingham House.[2] Shortly after William and Mary assumed the throne as joint monarchs in 1689, they began searching for a residence better situated for the comfort of the asthmatic William, as Whitehall Palace was too near the River Thames, with its fog and floods, for William's fragile health.
In the summer of 1689, William and Mary bought Nottingham House from Secretary of State Daniel Finch, 2nd Earl of Nottingham for £20,000.[2] They then instructed Sir Christopher Wren, Surveyor of the King's Works to begin an immediate expansion of the house. In order to save time and money, Wren kept the structure intact and added a three-story pavilion at each of the four corners, providing more accommodation for the King and Queen and their attendants. The Queen’s Apartments were in the north-west pavilion and the King’s in the south-east. Wren then re-oriented the house to face west, building north and south wings to flank the approach, made into a proper cour d'honneur that was entered through an archway surmounted by a clock tower. The palace was surrounded by straight cut solitary lawns, and formal stately gardens, laid out with paths and flower beds at right angles, after the Dutch fashion.[3] The royal court took residence in the palace shortly before Christmas 1689, and for the next seventy years, Kensington Palace was the favoured residence of British monarchs, although the official seat of the Court was and remains at St. James's Palace, which has not been the actual royal residence in London since the 17th century.
Additional improvements soon after, included Queen Mary's extension of her apartments by building the Queen's Gallery, and after a fire in 1691, the King's Staircase was rebuilt in marble and a Guard Chamber was constructed, facing the foot of the stairs. William had constructed the South Front, to the design of Nicholas Hawksmoor, which included the Kings' Gallery where he hung many works from his picture collection. Mary II died of smallpox in the palace in 1694, and in 1702, William suffered a fall from a horse at Hampton Court and was brought to Kensington Palace, where he died shortly afterwards from pneumonia.After William III's death, the palace became the residence of Queen Anne. She had Christopher Wren complete the extensions that William and Mary had begun, resulting in the section known as the Queen's Apartments, with the Queen's Entrance, and the plainly decorated Wren designed staircase, that featured shallow steps so that Anne could walk down gracefully. These were primarily used by the Queen to give access between the private apartments and gardens. Queen Anne's most notable contribution to the palace were the gardens. She commissioned the Hawksmoor designed Orangery, modified by John Vanbrugh, that was built for her in 1704.[4] The level of decoration of the interior, including carved detail by Grinling Gibbons, reflects its intended use, not just as a greenhouse, but as a place for entertaining. Also, a magnificent 30 acre (121,000 m2) baroque parterre, with sections of clipped scrolling designs punctuated by trees formally clipped into cones, was laid out by Henry Wise, the royal gardener. Kensington Palace was also the setting of the final argument between Sarah, Duchess of Marlborough and Queen Anne. The Duchess, who was known for being outspoken and manipulative, was jealous of the attention the Queen was giving to Abigail Masham, Baroness Masham.

John Vanbrugh
Sir John Vanbrugh (/ˈvænbrə/; 24 January 1664 (baptised) – 26 March 1726) was an English architect and dramatist, perhaps best known as the designer of Blenheim Palace and Castle Howard. He wrote two argumentative and outspoken Restoration comedies, The Relapse (1696) and The Provoked Wife (1697), which have become enduring stage favourites but originally occasioned much controversy. He was knighted in 1714.
Vanbrugh was in many senses a radical throughout his life. As a young man and a committed Whig, he was part of the scheme to overthrow James II, put William III on the throne and protect English parliamentary democracy, and he was imprisoned by the French as a political prisoner. In his career as a playwright, he offended many sections of Restoration and 18th century society, not only by the sexual explicitness of his plays, but also by their messages in defence of women's rights in marriage. He was attacked on both counts, and was one of the prime targets of Jeremy Collier's Short View of the Immorality and Profaneness of the English Stage. In his architectural career, he created what came to be known as English Baroque. His architectural work was as bold and daring as his early political activism and marriage-themed plays, and jarred conservative opinions on the subject.

Plans for the new Carnegie Pavilion at Headingley Carnegie Cricket Ground have moved a step closer to fruition, with news that Leeds City Council has granted planning permission for the project.
The building is the brainchild of architect Will Alsop, famed for his avant-garde, modernist buildings. He cites Le Corbusier, Sir John Soane, Mies van der Rohe and John Vanbrugh as his architectural heroes. His approach to architecture was expressed in an interview with The Observer in 2007 when he said: "I like people. I hope it shows."
Work on the pioneering design - a crystalline structure topped with a green, undulating roof - is scheduled to begin this November.
The scheme combines new world-class cricket, media and hospitality facilities and will also act as a teaching space for
Leeds Met.
During the summer period, the 4,000 sqm building is intended to operate mainly as a cricket pavilion and media centre, whilst during the academic year, the pavilion will allow students access to modern media facilities, sporting, hospitality and event management experiences.
Stephen Willis, Director of Finance and Resources at Leeds Met said: "Today's announcement of planning approval for the Carnegie Pavilion marks another exciting and significant development for Leeds Metropolitan University, students, Yorkshire County Cricket Club, the city of Leeds and Yorkshire as a whole. Headingley Carnegie Stadium is one of Yorkshire's best known and loved landmarks, hosting a number of fantastic events including international cricket.
"The new development will facilitate significant and essential enhancements to the stadium. It will also provide opportunities for Leeds Met students to study in a state of the art environment and learn through unrivalled practical experiences at the many events held at the stadium."
Stewart Regan, Chief Executive of Yorkshire County Cricket Club, added: "This is fantastic news for the club, its members, players and partners. Leeds Met and ourselves have worked incredibly hard with our advisors over the past 18 months to deliver a project which satisfies everyone's needs.
"We are delighted with the outcome and look forward to commencing work on the Carnegie Pavilion later this year. This development will go a long way towards helping the club retain international cricket here in Yorkshire. We are indebted to
Leeds Met, Leeds City Council and Yorkshire Forward for their assistance, support and hard work over many months.
"The Carnegie Pavilion, when completed, will become the single most-viewed building in Yorkshire, seen by all of 500 million people on TV during international cricket events. We are confident it will become a landmark building for the city of Leeds."
Shaun Russell, of SMC Alsop, said: "The Carnegie Pavilion has undoubtedly been a real challenge for our joint clients and the whole design team - an unusual dual-use building on a highly constrained site and surrounded by residential properties - and we are extremely pleased with the outcome of the planning application. We consider the Carnegie Pavilion to be a genuinely ground-breaking project and we want to see it built."

In the 17th century the architect Louis Le Vau built for Louis XIV a pair of isolated ranges mirroring one another across a parterre to one side of the keep, suited for the Queen Mother and Cardinal Mazarin, but rebuilding was never pursued once Versailles occupied all attentions. Some splendid apartments show the earliest phase of Louis XIV style, before the example of Vaux-le-Vicomte presented the Sun King with a worthy model. The unlucky builder of Vaux, the minister Nicolas Fouquet found himself transferred to Vincennes, to much less comfortable lodgings. In 1691 another unwilling lodger was John Vanbrugh, soon to become a playwright and architect, who drew some of his Baroque "gothick" from his experience of Vincennes, it has been argued.

Blenheim Palace was the stately home that is the residence of Dukes of Marlborough and birthplace of Sir Winston Churchill.
Sir Winston Leonard Spencer-Churchill, KG, OM, CH, TD, DL, FRS, RA (30 November 1874 -- 24 January 1965) was a British politician who was the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1940 to 1945 and again from 1951 to 1955. Widely regarded as one of the greatest wartime leaders of the 20th century, Churchill was also an officer in the British Army, a historian, a writer, and an artist. He is the only British Prime Minister to have won the Nobel Prize in Literature, and was the first person to be made an honorary citizen of the United States.
Churchill was born into the aristocratic family of the Dukes of Marlborough, a branch of the Spencer family. His father, Lord Randolph Churchill, was a charismatic politician who served as Chancellor of the Exchequer; his mother, Jennie Jerome, was an American socialite. As a young army officer, he saw action in British India, The Sudan, and the Second Boer War. He gained fame as a war correspondent and wrote books about his campaigns.

Blenheim Palace /ˈblɛnəm/ (pronounced "Blen-im") is a monumental country house situated in Woodstock, Oxfordshire, England, residence of the dukes of Marlborough. It is the only non-royal non-episcopal country house in England to hold the title of palace. The palace, one of England's largest houses, was built between 1705 and circa 1722. Blenheim Palace was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987.[1]
Its construction was originally intended to be a gift to John Churchill, 1st Duke of Marlborough, from a grateful nation in return for military triumph against the French and Bavarians at the Battle of Blenheim. However, it soon became the subject of political infighting, which led to Marlborough's exile, the fall from power of his duchess, and irreparable damage to the reputation of the architect Sir John Vanbrugh.
Designed in the rare, and short-lived, English Baroque style, architectural appreciation of the palace is as divided today as it was in the 1720s.[2] It is unique in its combined usage as a family home, mausoleum and national monument. The palace is also notable as the birthplace and ancestral home of Sir Winston Churchill.

Kensington Palace is a royal residence set in Kensington Gardens, in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea in London, England. It has been a residence of the British Royal Family since the 17th century, and is the official London residence of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Prince Harry, the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester, the Duke and Duchess of Kent, and Prince and Princess Michael of Kent.
Today, the State Rooms are open to the public and managed by the independent charity Historic Royal Palaces, a nonprofit organization that does not receive public funds.[1] The offices and private accommodation areas of the Palace remain the responsibility of the Royal Household and are maintained by the Royal Household Property Section.Kensington Palace began as a simple two-story Jacobean mansion built by Sir George Coppin in 1605 in the village of Kensington. The mansion was purchased in 1619 by Heneage Finch, 1st Earl of Nottingham and was then known as Nottingham House.[2] Shortly after William and Mary assumed the throne as joint monarchs in 1689, they began searching for a residence better situated for the comfort of the asthmatic William, as Whitehall Palace was too near the River Thames, with its fog and floods, for William's fragile health.
In the summer of 1689, William and Mary bought Nottingham House from Secretary of State Daniel Finch, 2nd Earl of Nottingham for £20,000.[2] They then instructed Sir Christopher Wren, Surveyor of the King's Works to begin an immediate expansion of the house. In order to save time and money, Wren kept the structure intact and added a three-story pavilion at each of the four corners, providing more accommodation for the King and Queen and their attendants. The Queen’s Apartments were in the north-west pavilion and the King’s in the south-east. Wren then re-oriented the house to face west, building north and south wings to flank the approach, made into a proper cour d'honneur that was entered through an archway surmounted by a clock tower. The palace was surrounded by straight cut solitary lawns, and formal stately gardens, laid out with paths and flower beds at right angles, after the Dutch fashion.[3] The royal court took residence in the palace shortly before Christmas 1689, and for the next seventy years, Kensington Palace was the favoured residence of British monarchs, although the official seat of the Court was and remains at St. James's Palace, which has not been the actual royal residence in London since the 17th century.
Additional improvements soon after, included Queen Mary's extension of her apartments by building the Queen's Gallery, and after a fire in 1691, the King's Staircase was rebuilt in marble and a Guard Chamber was constructed, facing the foot of the stairs. William had constructed the South Front, to the design of Nicholas Hawksmoor, which included the Kings' Gallery where he hung many works from his picture collection. Mary II died of smallpox in the palace in 1694, and in 1702, William suffered a fall from a horse at Hampton Court and was brought to Kensington Palace, where he died shortly afterwards from pneumonia.After William III's death, the palace became the residence of Queen Anne. She had Christopher Wren complete the extensions that William and Mary had begun, resulting in the section known as the Queen's Apartments, with the Queen's Entrance, and the plainly decorated Wren designed staircase, that featured shallow steps so that Anne could walk down gracefully. These were primarily used by the Queen to give access between the private apartments and gardens. Queen Anne's most notable contribution to the palace were the gardens. She commissioned the Hawksmoor designed Orangery, modified by John Vanbrugh, that was built for her in 1704.[4] The level of decoration of the interior, including carved detail by Grinling Gibbons, reflects its intended use, not just as a greenhouse, but as a place for entertaining. Also, a magnificent 30 acre (121,000 m2) baroque parterre, with sections of clipped scrolling designs punctuated by trees formally clipped into cones, was laid out by Henry Wise, the royal gardener. Kensington Palace was also the setting of the final argument between Sarah, Duchess of Marlborough and Queen Anne. The Duchess, who was known for being outspoken and manipulative, was jealous of the attention the Queen was giving to Abigail Masham, Baroness Masham.

The Provoked Wife by John Vanbrugh
John Vanbrugh's The Provoked Wife is one of the greatest English comedies about a marriage in crisis. It maps the quarrels and confrontations of its husband and wife with a distinctive and entertaining wit, and pursues their story to an unexpected conclusion. This film was made at the opening performance of a production of the play, directed by Professor Michael Cordner and Dr Tom Cantrell, in June 2014, on the main stage of the Department of Theatre, Film and Television, University of York. This production is the latest in a series of staff-directed productions of seventeenth-century productions in the Department. Its predecessors - John Marston's The Dutch Courtesan and Thomas Middleton's A Mad World, My Masters - can be viewed at http://www.dutchcourtesan.co.uk/introducing-film-the... -
England and its Great Treasure Houses 2, 2:37
As the seventeenth century came to a close in England many noble patrons were busy supervising their own building works. Lord Carlisle in 1699 commissioned, an acquaintance from the Kit Cat Club a haunt of the Whig grandees John Vanbrugh, to draw up classical designs for his new Country House. Castle Howard in Yorkshire is today probably the most dramatic of all the Great Treasure Houses in England and Wales. www.thecultureconcept.com/circle/ -

Naxos Scenic Musical Journeys - England: A Musical Tour of Blenheim Palace, Leeds Castle and Castle Howard
The Places Our tour takes us to three great English houses. The first, near Oxford, is Blenheim Palace, built for the first Duke of Marlborough by Sir John Vanbrugh. The second is the romantic Leeds Castle, in Kent, known for its spectacular setting, and the third is Castle Howard in North Yorkshire, designed for the Howard family by Vanbrugh. The Music The music chosen to accompany our tour is by George Frideric Handel, who finally settled in England in 1712, assuming a dominant position in English music. His Water Music was written to entertain King George I, probably in 1717, as he sailed up the Thames, and the second, the Music for the Royal Fireworks was commissioned to celebrate the Peace of Aix-la-Chapelle in 1749, accompanying a firework display in Green Park. -
Building England Part 1 - Before There Were Architects
Judith Jones takes us through story of the English building and shows us how it came to be. It’s a journey from the birth of early Christian settlements to the creation of the baroque mansion in the 17th century; of how a Romanesque church became a cathedral, and how a castle became the Englishman’s home. We begin in a crumbling priory on the island of Lindisfarne, Northumberland, as Christianity in England arrives with the teachings of the Saints, Aidan and Cuthbert, in the 7th century. Judith shows us how Cuthbert was sent by Oswald, the King of Northumbria, to convert the natives to the Roman rites of Catholicism and how this event opened the floodgates to the arrival of Continental ideas, especially those in architecture – the first being the roman arch, the triforium and the cleresto... -

Palladian architecture
Palladian architecture is a European style of architecture derived from and inspired by the designs of the Venetian architect Andrea Palladio. That which is recognised as Palladian architecture today is an evolution of Palladio's original concepts. Palladio's work was strongly based on the symmetry, perspective and values of the formal classical temple architecture of the Ancient Greeks and Romans. From the 17th century Palladio's interpretation of this classical architecture was adapted as the style known as Palladianism. It continued to develop until the end of the 18th century. Palladianism became popular briefly in Britain during the mid-17th century, but its flowering was cut short by the onset of the Civil War and the imposition of austerity which followed. In the early 18th century ...

Judith Jones takes us through story of the English building and shows us how it came to be. It’s a journey from the birth of early Christian settlements to the creation of the baroque mansion in the 17th century; of how a Romanesque church became a cathedral, and how a castle became the Englishman’s home.
We begin in a crumbling priory on the island of Lindisfarne, Northumberland, as Christianity in England arrives with the teachings of the Saints, Aidan and Cuthbert, in the 7th century. Judith shows us how Cuthbert was sent by Oswald, the King of Northumbria, to convert the natives to the Roman rites of Catholicism and how this event opened the floodgates to the arrival of Continental ideas, especially those in architecture – the first being the roman arch, the triforium and the clerestory window which features in all traditional English churches. But it was not until the 11th century that the English building took off. William Duke of Normandy defeated Harold Hardrada at Hastings and he established a kingdom centered on thick-walled cathedrals resembling fortresses, governed by powerful French prince bishops who were appointed to restore order to the land.
Judith visits Durham cathedral, a Catholic ‘fortress’ settled on an insurmountable hill, where the Gothic ribbed vault was invented and where the square Norman towers became the unmistakable motif of the noble English church. Though, as we soon discover, it was the Cistercian monastic order in Fountains Abbey in Ripon, Yorkshire, who developed the English Gothic style we see stylized in the Hammer horror and Harry Potter films. Judith examines the simple functional plans of Fountains abbey and illustrates the Gothic principles of order, light and clarity. To illustrate this new ‘Decorated’ style of building, Judith visits Ely cathedral in Cambridgeshire, where she examines the choir screen and chancel before noticing that the ribbed arch on Ely’s hallowed ceilings have become very ornate by the beginning of the 14th century. Back in Yorkshire, to the most English building development of them all, (according to the legendary art historian Nikolaus Pevsner) the ‘Perpendicular’ style which see in York’s majestic minster: a horizontal building with rectangular panels and long vertical windows with stone framework called mullions. It’s a feature we see adorning the Houses of Parliament and other national institutions of the 19th century.
Judith continues her journey North exploring the castles that were built to fend off the raiding Scots and given as a reward to the Earls who fought for Henry IV during England’s 100 years war with France. Judith shows us how the castle became a home, fitted out not just for battle but for entertainment and comfortable living. In Warkworth castle, Northumberland, we see how Harry Hotspur (Earl Thomas Percy), transformed his castle keep into a waiting room and he turned his soldiers’ barracks into a great hall grand enough to entertain his loyal knights with medieval banquets. The fireplace, often seen in the centre of the room is now set back to the wall. It appears that the concept of the room is arriving. It was when peace descended on England that the Elizabethan manor house was created. It was equipped with a castle-like moat and it was built of Dutch brick brought over from that 100 years war. The manor house, like all of England’s buildings, was raised not by educated designers but by masons and carpenters working under the patronage of wealthy Lords and wool merchants of the day. Judith explores Kentwell Hall in Sudbury, Suffolk.
Judith then travels to Burghley House, Lincolnshire, where the Elizabethan house has transformed itself into a stately baroque manor by the end of the 16th century, complete with the new development of a staircase, bedrooms and guests rooms built along a chopped up Elizabethan long gallery. Protestant England was now receiving the Renaissance into her homes. As the Englishman started taking tours around a Europe energized by the Renaissance, a new vocation was born in the 17th century - that of the architect. Inigo Jones and Christopher Wren were probably the first architects in the country. They were inspired by the teachings of the Italian scholar Andrea Palladio and his written works made architecture the profession of a gentleman. This leads Judith to her final building – Castle Howard – designed by a playwright John Vanbrugh, whose fantastic designs crowned him as an architect of baroque expertise and picturesque ideals. He sent the English building into the 18th century by looking as much outside the building as within.

Palladian architecture is a European style of architecture derived from and inspired by the designs of the Venetian architect Andrea Palladio. That which is recognised as Palladian architecture today is an evolution of Palladio's original concepts. Palladio's work was strongly based on the symmetry, perspective and values of the formal classical temple architecture of the Ancient Greeks and Romans. From the 17th century Palladio's interpretation of this classical architecture was adapted as the style known as Palladianism. It continued to develop until the end of the 18th century.
Palladianism became popular briefly in Britain during the mid-17th century, but its flowering was cut short by the onset of the Civil War and the imposition of austerity which followed. In the early 18th century it returned to fashion, not only in England but also, directly influenced from Britain, in Prussia. Count Francesco Algarotti may have written to Burlington from Berlin that he was recommending to Frederick the Great the adoption in Prussia of the architectural style Burlington had introduced in England but Knobelsdorff's opera house on the Unter den Linden, based on Campbell's Wanstead House, had been constructed from 1741. Later in the century, when the style was falling from favour in Europe, it had a surge in popularity throughout the British colonies in North America, highlighted by examples such as Drayton Hall in South Carolina, the Redwood Library in Newport, Rhode Island, the Morris-Jumel Mansion in New York City, the Hammond-Harwood House in Annapolis, Maryland, and Thomas Jefferson's Monticello and Poplar Forest in Virginia.
