M.H. Baillie Scott: 48 Storey's Way, Cambridge

Article Abstract:

Mackay Hugh Baillie Scott was a renowned but little-known architect of the Arts and Crafts movement. The house he designed at 48 Storey's Way, Cambridge, England, in 1912, exemplifies his work. Baillie Scott was largely self-taught and greatly influenced by the work of William Morris. His fundamental beliefs were in the importance of beauty derived from function and construction, and in a plan that provided a large central hall space. He also believed that the house and garden should be designed as a whole.

What Clifton is to bridges, the crystal palace is to buildings

Article Abstract:

An architectural or engineering competition created penetration of iron and steel structures in a market place. The idea that the gorge over the River Avon at Clifton bridged is the means to do practically using new material with a bridge that would allow the navigation of tall ships rules out masonry and the elegant but precarious timber structures away.
