The Country Life Building, Covent Garden, is absolutely stunning !! It is one of my favourite façades in London !! It is a Wren-aissance Masterpiece and a little piece of Hampton Court in the heart of London !!
@@aalexander928 Maybe - but it still doesn't detract from the magnificence of the design. The cost of correcting all the design faults Sir Frederick Gibberd's alternative design are doing a good job of knocking a hole in the church's finances - it is highly likely that even more will have to be spent before it reaches its centenary.
thank you cousins, I was lucky to come by this on t'internet ..... are you familiar with this little BBC thingy? th-cam.com/video/kopNW3kjNNU/w-d-xo.html, if not, take it as an early Xmas pressie! ps. I see one of your sisters is in it, so I suppose it's not much of a present at all .... oh well.
Really interesting , what an incredible man he was. Thank you.

Edwin Lutyens was a great man, a brilliant architect, a true Genius !!
Hampton Court Bridge is a masterpiece of elegance !!
Lutyens's Metropolitan Cathedral would have been so original, so monumental, so colossal, so phenomenal !!
It would have also put the Catholic Church in financial debt for eternity.

Lutyens's New Delhi should be a UNESCO World Heritage Site !! It would be more than justified !!
School doesnt register thier students so how PhD could be registered ?
Why schools dont register thier students ?
Lutyens is much more "Humanist' than Frank Lloyd Wright, and modernist in subtle way
