British Architect Robert Adam

Abstract: A 4 page paper discussing the work of Robert Adam (1728-1792), the famous Scottish architect and interior designer. The son of a Scottish architect, Robert Adam was able to combine arrogance, social climbing and artistic elegance to become one of Britain's most sought-after architects and interior designers of his day. His work fell out of popular favor by 1780, but he continued working in public structures and turned extensively to furniture design. That design is still with us, and continues to enjoy periodic rejuvenation and rediscovery. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
