The architecture of Georgian Bath was defined by the vocabulary of forms and proportion drawn from Classical Antiquity. This talk will explore how the designers and builders of Bath translated Classicism for modern life in the 18th and early 19th centuries, achieving new buildings through a blend of imitation and innovation. It will highlight how stylistic developments were unified through the materials that built the Georgian city, and consider the impact that has on the World Heritage Site today.
