The Edwardian Baroque was the closest British architecture ever came to achieving an "imperial" style. With the aim of articulating British global power and prestige, it adorned civic and commercial structures both in Britain and in the wider British world. This lecture will explore the Edwardian Baroque’s significance as a response to the growing tide of anxiety over Britain’s place in the world, its widely perceived geopolitical decline, and its need to bolster confidence in the face of the Great Power rivalries during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. It will touch on issues concerning architecture, politics, and imperial history and theory, providing a wide-ranging understanding of the Edwardian Baroque movement from a broader material culture perspective.Speaker: Professor Alex Bremner, Chair of Architectural History, Edinburgh College of Art, Edinburgh School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture
