An exploration of Lutyens’s church designs within the masterplan for the Central Square.
Stuart Martin, Robin Prater
Host & Moderator: Martin Lutyens
The Salutation is one of Lutyens’s most masterful essays into Neo-Georgian design. Located in Sandwich, Kent, the seemingly simple and straightforward design holds a myriad of surprises and intricacies.
Swapna Liddle, Grant Marani
Host & Moderator: Robin Prater
Our speakers today represent the international interest evoked by the work of Sir Edwin Lutyens. Swapna Liddle is an author and historian with a specialization in the history of Delhi. Grant Marani is an architect and partner of Robert A.M. Stern Architects. Although Lutyens designed many buildings for New Delhi, this webinar will focus primarily on Lutyens’s work at Rashtrapati Bhavan (President’s House, formerly Viceroy’s House).
A.G. Krishna Menon, Dhiru Thadani
Host & Moderator: Martin Lutyens & Robin Prater
In 1912, Edwin Lutyens was asked to join what became the Delhi Planning Commision, charged with advising on the siting and layout of a new capital for India. Although Lutyens went on to design a number of the buildings in New Delhi, notably Rashtrapati Bhavan, this webinar focuses on the theories and concepts of the planning for the new city. Martin Lutyens discusses the work at New Delhi within the context of Edwin Lutyens’s overall body of work. Dhiru Thadani looks at the connectivity between the planning of New Delhi and the layouts of other major capitals, such as Paris and Washington, D.C. Krishna Menon shares his insights into how the flexibility of Lutyens’s plan for New Delhi allowed the city to transition into the modern Republican city that it is today.

Lambay Castle is the ancestral home of the Revelstokes, Maude & Cecil Baring, and is still protected by their family today, four generations later. The original Old Fort was built in the late 15th/early 16th century. The Lutyens Guest Wing and renovations were added in 1908-1910. Referred to as one of Lutyens’s finest examples of domestic architecture, the two sections of Lambay Castle complement each other perfectly and are seamlessly, almost invisibly, connected by a long central corridor that runs beneath the East Terrace.
