Robert Adam is
recognised internationally as a great architectural genius. He is
certainly Scotland's greatest architect, but his influence has
extended far beyond these shores and beyond his own generation.
This site brings
together a growing body of digitised information about Adam,
including photographs, scans of original drawings and computer
reconstructions. It includes essays that follow themes in Adam's
work, as well as a growing number of studies
of individual building.
The studies are of
buildings that were designed and built during Adam's lifetime,
buildings that were constructed but which were in the process or
subsequently modified, buildings that are now destroyed or in ruins,
and designs for buildings that only ever existed on paper. Many of
the unbuilt and destroyed designs by Adam are largely unknown, but
they are none-the-less great works of architecture which computer
visualisation techniques allow us now to appreciate more fully.
It is hoped that
this web site will provide a window to the depth of Adam's vision and
genius, that was appreciated so much by earlier generations, and that
in doing so we may better appreciate and care for the legacy of his
buildings that have been left to us.
