Speaker 1 Leonardo Da Vinci, master of the Italian Renaissance, isn’t generally thought of as an architect. However, he has influenced architects through the centuries by his research and contributions in the fields of anatomical structure, mechanics, hydraulics, engineering, mathematics and optics. He actually described himself as an experienced architect, although he only once, in 1487, submitted drawings for a design of the cupola for Milan cathedral, which were rejected.
Speaker 2 Russian architect Vasily Petrovich Stasov (1769–1848) lived in France and Italy before returning to his homeland. He believed that the most trivial buildings — barracks, storehouses, stables should look imposing and monumental. In 1820, after a great fire, he remodeled parts of the baroque Catherine Palace in a neoclassical style. Also, after the disastrous fire in the Winter Palace in 1837, he remodelled many of the halls.
Speaker 3 Italian Renaissance painter Michelangelo actually had quite a low regard for painting and much preferred sculpture and architecture. Whereas he is famous for his frescoes in the Sistine Chapel in Rome, not everyone realises he was an architect of Saint Peter’s Basilica. He was 74 when he took over the plans from Antonio da Sangallo and he transformed the designs completely. The western end and the dome were built from his drawings and plans.
Speaker 4 Julia Morgan (1872–1957) is considered by some to be the greatest ever woman architect even though she grew up in an age when women were actively discouraged from this profession. Her story is one of great determination and readiness to overcome all difficulties to achieve her goal. Qualification and acceptance were hard won but the brilliance of her work was eventually noticed and noted. In 1919 she was asked to design Hearst Castle by William Randolph Hearst one of the most famous private residences in the world.
Speaker 5 The great American architect Frank Lloyd Wright was married 3 times and had 7 children. Many of his children and grandchildren went on to become noted architects although one granddaughter was the Oscar winning actress Anne Baxter. Wright’s third wife was Olga Ivanova Lazovich. Her daughter, Svetlana was married to Wright’s assistant William Peters, who after Svetlana’s death was briefly married to Svetlana Alliluyeva the only daughter of Joseph Stalin.
Speaker 6 Norman Foster is one of the UK’s most prolific designers of landmark office buildings. Often his work involves a mixture of cutting edge technology and basic physical laws such as convection. The famous office building, best known as ‘The Gherkin’, has complex outer walls that let in passive air for cooling and then gently expel the air as it warms and rises. It is almost as if this intelligent and efficient structure is breathing.
