Albert Richardson (1880-1964) Drawn by S Holland for Richardson & Houfe Architects 58x80cm Pencil architectural perspective drawing Sir Albert Edward Richardson K.C.V.O., F.R.I.B.A, F.S.A., P.R.A. (1880-1964) was a traditionalist, renowned for his distaste of modern architecture. Rooted firmly in the classical period, he lived a Georgian life, refusing to have electricity in his Georgian house – until his wife finally insisted. Professor of Architecture at UCL’s Bartlett School of Architecture from 1929-1955, this was evacuated to Cambridge during the war and he became a fellow of St Catharine’s College. Following the war he was invited to make proposals for Christ’s College. This large and impressive drawing shows his new cupola for the Stevenson building, to go alongside his Chancellor’s Building and Memorial Building. His proposal for New Court was finally built as the controversial Modernist ‘Typewriter’ to designs by Sir Denys Lasdun. Amongst his other achievements, Richardson was President of the RA, editor of Architect’s Journal and founder of the Georgian Group.
