Architects in Perspective: Sir Reginald Blomfield, An Edwardian Architect

Edwardian architecture was notable for its richness and complexity, encompassing a wide variety of styles and approaches to design. Sir Reginald Blomfield was one of its most significant figures. He advocated a tradition of restrained, unselfconcious classicism as practised by Wren and his contemporaries. Through his work and writings he tried to establish this style as a sound basis for twentieth-century architecture.
