This seminar examines the ways in which architecture may be employed to express a personal, national or political narrative. In the Elizabethan period we examine the buildings of Thomas Tresham, a knight at the court of Elizabeth I who used architecture to express his Catholic faith in a time of religious repression. In the Victorian era we examine the search to find a national architectural language and how this was enacted through public commissions. Finally, we consider how Mussolini used architecture to promote his political ideology in grandiose building projects of the early 20th century.
