Abstract

In this talk Stephen examined episodes in the little-explored cultural history of shadows in architecture based on the research that led to his book Shadow-Makers: a cultural history of shadows in architecture (Bloomsbury, 2017); a study whose narrative - combining close readings of significant buildings both ancient and modern with architectural theory and art history - reveals the key places and moments where shadows have shaped architecture in distinctive and dynamic ways. Major figures examined in the lecture include Nicholas Hawksmoor, Sir John Soane, and John Ruskin.
