An overview of the career and life of Sir Edwin Lutyens, spanning from the American Civil War to the Second World War.
Born as the American Civil War was wrapping up and living until close to the end of the Second World War, Sir Edwin Lutyens life spanned a time of tremendous change. This overview reflects of the ways in which his architecture reflected those times and yet held an element of timelessness that makes it relevant today. With panelists Martin Lutyens (Chairman of the Lutyens Trust and the Lutyens Trust America), Robin Prater (Executive Director of the Lutyens Trust America), and Jane Ridley (noted author, professor, and great-granddaughter of Edwin Lutyens). Hosted by LutyensTrustAmerica.com

Finally got it. I was desperately finding about him.
Christopher Wren & Edwin Lutyens : Two big brains, two great Geniuses !!
Edwin Lutyens was a great man, a brilliant architect, a true Genius !!
The Country Life Building, Covent Garden, is absolutely stunning !! It is one of my favourite façades in London !!
It is a Wren-aissance Masterpiece and a little piece of Hampton Court in the heart of London !!
Hampton Court Bridge is a masterpiece of elegance !!
Lutyens's New Delhi should be a UNESCO World Heritage Site !! It would be more than justified !!
Lutyens's Metropolitan Cathedral would have been so original, so monumental, so colossal, so phenomenal !!
It would have also put the Catholic Church in financial debt for eternity.
@@aalexander928 Maybe - but it still doesn't detract from the magnificence of the design. The cost of correcting all the design faults Sir Frederick Gibberd's alternative design are doing a good job of knocking a hole in the church's finances - it is highly likely that even more will have to be spent before it reaches its centenary.
Lutyens is much more "Humanist' than Frank Lloyd Wright, and modernist in subtle way
