Chiswick House
3
Chiswick House is the finest and best known
Palladian Villa in the United Kingdom, set in
finely landscaped eighteenth century gardens.
4
Chiswick house was built in 1729 by Lord
Burlngton, thats why it is also known as
Burlington House.
5
The villa was never intended as a residence but a
temple of the arts amidst natural grounds where
Lord Burlington could entertain and house his
books and works of art.

Holkham hall
7
Designed by the great architect William Kent and
begun in 1734, is one of the finest examples of a
palladian country house.

Strawberry Hill
9
It is settled in Twickenhm and it is one of the
earliest examples of the revived use of gothic
architectural elements. It was begun in 1748.

Hartwell
Hartwell House was originally built for the
Hampden and Lee families, from whom the
Confederate General Robert E. Lee was descended.
It remained in the possession of the original
families until 1938, when it was purchased by the
grandson of Thomas Cook, founder of Cook's Travel
Agency.

Royal Pavillion
12
The Royal Pavilion grew over 35 years from a
simple farmhouse to a spectacular palace. In 1787
Henry Holland extended the original farmhouse
into a neo-classical building know as the 'Marine
Pavilion'.    
13
From 1815-1823 John Nash used new technology to
transform the Pavilion into the Indian style
building that exists today. He enlarged the
building and added the domes and minarets that
characterise his design by superimposing a cast
iron framework over Holland's Marine Pavilion.

Other features of Nash's design were less
successful within 10 years the roof had started
to leak and concealed drainpipes were overflowing
and causing dry rot. After many years of neglect,
a programme of restoration began in 1982.

Jardin Anglais
17
Jardin Anglais imposed an architectural pattern
on nature but the English landscape garden was to
owe less to imposition and more to the emulation
of nature.
18
The formal garden tradition shaped by french
ideas had to content with efforts to establish a
native style which many have claimed is the one
original contribution of Britain to the fine arts.

21
Villandry was completed toward 1536 and was the
last of the large chateau built in the Loire
Valley during the Renaissance.
22
Villandry stayed in le Bretons family until 1754
and then became the property of the Marquis de
Castellane, the Kings Ambassador who came from a
very illustrious noble family from Provence
23
The traditional gardens were destroyed in the
19th century to create an English-style park
around the château (in the style of Monceau park
in Paris).

Versailles
26
The grounds were laid out geometrically around a
main axis, secondary axes, radiating pathways,
and circular (or semi-circular) pools known as
basins. Everything was symmetrical, if staggered
on several levels. Trees were rigourously pruned
to create a veritable architecture of vegetation.
27
Ethnic Elements
28
Non Western and non classical forms of
architecture, ranging from that of the Iroquois
and the Chinese to that of the ancient Jews and
Egyptians, aroused considerable interest.
29
Greek gardens
30
Neo classical architecture, based around the
buildings of classical Greece became the
prevailing style for much of the mid to late
eighteenth century.
