N2 - Georgian Architecture is a new inclusive history, considering the different meanings and physical impact of architecture to the diverse peoples of the British nation and empire; including marginalised and excluded groups - the homogenous ‘other’ - historically excluded from architectural histories (servants and labourers, enslaved workers, the inhabitants of hospitals, asylum, prisons and workhouses). It will consider the design intentions of elite landowners, including women, in the choices they made when commissioning country houses (and how these had different intentions and outcomes in different places such as Ireland and the British Caribbean). It will consider the aims of the British government and colonial companies in the construction of fortified towns, military forts and naval bases in England, Scotland, Northern Ireland, West Africa and the Indian Subcontinent.
