In the middle years of the eighteenth century, English writers discovered the landscape, not only as genre of painting, made popular by the art of Claude Lorrain, Nicolas Poussin and Salvator Rosa, but also as a place to be visited and viewed as if it were a picture. No part of England was more discovered in this period than the Lake District, which was transformed over the course of the next century from a remote region of farmland and inaccessible hills into a wild and romantic landscape of picturesque lake and mountain. Wordsworth is known both as the principle ‘lake poet' and as the author of its most important nineteenth century guidebook. But Wordsworth had several predecessors, notably Thomas West, whose 1778 A guide to the Lakes, was the first comprehensive guide to the area. Influenced by contemporary thinking on the picturesque, West acknowledged his own predecessors, especially Thomas Gray, Arthur Young and Thomas Pennant and commented, sometimes critically, on their choice of viewpoints. Extracts from Gray's journal were included as addenda to the second edition of West's guide in 1902, alongside several minor pieces.This collection includes most of the significant work on the Lakes prior to West's guide (William Hutchison's 1774 An excursion to the Lakes in Westmoreland and Cumberland is available as a separate Librivox recording). The poet, Thomas Gray takes the listener from Brough south to Kendal in which, as West is careful to note, he did not visit all the lakes. Gray introduces the ‘black mirror' or ‘Claude glass' - a convex, tinted mirror designed to view the landscape in the manner of a landscape painting by Lorrain - as a suitable device for viewing the Lakes as picturesque. An agricultural reformer, Arthur Young, begins his journey in the northern parts of Cumberland with dry descriptions of local farming, but on arriving in Keswick, his account turns lyrical. Also a user of the glass, Young writes eloquently of the picturesque views around Derwent Water, Ullswater and Windermere. ‘Wild and romantic' is Young's phrase, yet his inner agriculturalist comes to the fore as he declares the enclosed landscapes around Kendal and Windermere to be the most picturesque of all. Though cited by West, Thomas Pennant's account of his journey through the district is cursory, and he appears not have noticed the lakes or mountains at all.The collection also includes four short pieces from the addenda to West's guide. John Brown, in a letter written in the 1740s to his former pupil William Gilpin, who would become the foremost exponent of the picturesque landscape, was the first to connect the views of the Lake District with those painted by European landscape painters. Experimental philosopher Adam Walker provides a note on a local curiosity, the underground passages of Dunald Mill Hole. The Lake District has long inspired poets to versify; John Dalton and Richard Cumberland were among the first. - Summary by Phil Benson

Charles Jencks, “The Architecture of the Multiverse”

Among his many influential books are Meaning in Architecture (1969), The Language of Post-Modern Architecture (1977), Adhocism: The Case for Improvisation (with Nathan Silver, 1972), The Daydream Houses of Los Angeles (1978), Bizarre Architecture (1979), and The Architecture of the Jumping Universe (1997). He is also co-founder of the Maggie’s Cancer Care Centres, named for his late wife Maggie Keswick, and has written about this project in The Architecture of Hope (2015). Jencks has taught and lectured widely and served on numerous juries and selection committees; his work has been recognized with numerous awards and honorary degrees. As a landscape designer, Jencks has completed several projects in Scotland, including the Garden of Cosmic Speculation (2007) and Jupiter Artland (2010). In his lecture, he will speak about his ongoing project the Crawick Multiverse, about which he writes:
The cosmos is almost the measure of all things and provides a referent and subject, a focus otherwise hard to find in present day society. With a few architects the patterns of nature and the architecture of the universe have partly reemerged as a shared meaning and iconography. At the same time the Multiverse has emerged on the agenda among scientists. Is this now a subject of thought and ultimate meaning? I have explored it in the architecture of the multiverse, an unfinished project. Where it leads, the imagination follows.
