THE INSTITUTE, CENTRAL SQUARE HAMP STEAD GARDEN SUBURB: The Evolution of the Design and Notes on Lutyens 's Involvement
Author(s): Chris Miele
Listed Building Consent is being sought by the Institute, Hampstead Garden Suburb, to extend its premises (listed grade 11*) to the non/i and south by the construction of wings which, it is claimed, realize Lutyens 's original intention. There is no doubt that at every stage in . the design process Lutyens imagined that the east side of Central Square would be closed off by buildings; however, the form these would take changed considerably over time (1908-1928) largely due to a chronic shortage of funds. The extension of the Suburb eastwards in 1912 by the purchase of a roughly 300 acre triangular piece of land also forced Lutyens and Raymond Unwin, the chief architect and planner, to reconsider the form of the unbuilt portions of Central Square.
