The Lutyens Trust writes:<\/u><\/strong><\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Liverpool and<\/strong> <\/strong>Lutyens\u2019s fascinating contribution to it, is enticingly subject of this year\u2019s conference.  Just 2\u00bc hours away from London by train, a walkable city, rich in late C19 and early C20 masterpieces, this exploration is overdue.<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Liverpool in the late 1920s was a vibrant city, one of \u2018rugged solidity and sublime grandeur\u2019, shaped by commerce and the broad River Mersey.  Lutyens\u2019 extraordinary design for the Roman Catholic Metropolitan Cathedral, commissioned in 1929 and described by his son Robert as standing\u2018quite outside time and period\u2026 a totally isolated work of art<\/em>\u2019, would have been a climax of more than two centuries explosive growth, combining extreme wealth and poverty.  By the late 19th<\/sup> century, over 40% of the world\u2019s trade passed through its port and Liverpool regarded itself as the \u2018second city\u2019 of the British Empire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The goal of this conference is to examine the rich complement of contemporary public and religious buildings in Liverpool in the seven decades before, during and after the commission and its abandonment in favour of a smaller and less ambitious scheme by Sir Frederick Gibberd.\u00a0 We shall also hear how the cathedral design fits into Lutyens\u2019 wider ecclesiastical work, together with a consideration of how the Liverpool School of Architecture became a leader in architectural education during the interwar years.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0

The conference will begin on the Friday afternoon in the Museum of Liverpool at Pier Head with an optional talk on and visit to the extraordinary model of the Metropolitan Cathedral, the climax of the 1981 exhibition on Lutyens at the Hayward Gallery London.\u00a0 A self-guided tour of the Pier Head and its iconic buildings can follow.\u00a0 On Saturday there will be guided visits to both Sir Giles Gilbert Scott\u2019s majestic Anglican Cathedral and Lutyens\u2019 stupendous Crypt, remarkable even without the cathedral above it that he planned to rival St. Peter\u2019s in Rome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
