The World in One School explores in text and image the global
influence of Britain's oldest University School of Architecture,
exploring the history of the School and what its teachers and
graduates have achieved internationally in designing and
constructing the architecture of the world. Under the leadership of
Sir Charles Reilly, architects such as Herbert Rowse and Harold Dod
worked in the American Beaux Arts style and this became the house
style of the School that is reflected in numerous Liverpool
landmarks. Exported worldwide, what became known as the 'Liverpool
Manner' brought a distinctive style to major buildings across the
globe. Students at the School came from all corners of the world
and, equally, were sent on international practice placements. In
the years between the two world wars, American architectural
practices were prominent in this movement - for example, McKim,
Mead and White; Corbett, Harrison and McMurray; and Carrer and
Hastings. Later, under Lionel Budden, the School moved into the
forefront of the Modernist movement, with architects such as Edwin
Maxwell Fry and George Checkley drawing inspiration from the works
of Le Corbusier and Mies van der Rohe. Other graduates of the
School, such as William (Lord) Holford and Gordon Stephenson made
major worldwide contributions to the field of city and regional
planning. The World in One School is a remarkable story of a School
with a long history of honours and awards, including six Royal Gold
Medals for Architecture to its graduates and staff: Sir Charles
Reilly, Sir Patrick Abercrombie, Lord Holford, Edwin Maxwell Fry,
Sir James Stirling and Colin Rowe.
