$a Although the publication-date of 1788 is carried by title page, dedication and introduction, all plates carry the date of January 1789. Each group of plates is preceded by a page of explanation. The buildings shown are: Shottisham, Norfolk; Malvern-Hall, Warwickshire; Letton-Hall, Norfolk; Chillington, Staffordshire; Tendring-Hall, Suffolk; Langley-Park, Norfolk; Ryston-Hall, Norfolk; Skelton-Castle, Yorkshire; Mulgrave-Hall, Yorkshire; Burn-Hall, Durham; Villa near Hockerill; Oulton, Suffolk; Villa intended for W. Tollemache; Parsonage at Saxlingham; Black-Friars Bridge, Norwich; Dairy at Hammels, Hertfordshire; Earsham, Suffolk; Museum designed for the Dilettanti Society, London. This, Soane's second publication, differs from his earlier Designs in architecture (1778) both by showing mostly executed designs for substantial country houses, and by introducing them with a statement of his philosophy of architecture. He quotes at length from earlier writers both to affirm the importance of architecture and to emphasise the necessity of not copying ancient buildings in a servile manner but so as to 'catch the spirit of them'. Ornament should 'shew the destination of the edifice' and 'assist in determining its character'. He allows that Gothic buildings 'excite solemn, serious and contemplative ideas'; and concludes by stating that the architect must adapt every design to its own 'situation' and consider the 'different ideas of convenience, comfort and elegance' of his clients. His designs reflect the contemporary taste for informal residences. But he allows himself one departure from Neoclassical simplicity in his design for a 'dairy' (pl. 44), where a thatched roof is combined with a Doric pediment and a central relief-sculpture of a cow. |
