	Robert Adam Biography
		In this movement Robert Adam was the leader, and his influence, paramount from 1764 to 1784, persisted for half a century, strongly affecting the work of George Hepplewhite, Thomas Sheraton, and all their contemporaries.
		While James Adam should not be deprived of the credit due him for his part in the work of the firm and the development of the Adam style, nevertheless the interest of biographer and critic finds itself fixed inevitably on the life and achievements of Robert.
		Adam's critics differ somewhat widely in their appraisal of his work, but all agree as to the importance of his introductions in the development of English style.

	Adam style - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Adam style (or Adamesque) is a style of neoclassical architecture and design as practised by Scottish architect Robert Adam (1728- 1792) and his brothers.
		The Adam style found its niche from the late 1760s in upper-class residences in 18th century England, Scotland, Russia where it was introduced by Scottish architect Charles Cameron, and post-Revolutionary War United States (where it became known as Federal style and took on a variation of its own).
		A revived "Adams" style, initiated by a spectacular marquetry cabinet by Wright and Mansfield exhibited at the Paris Exposition of 1867, competed with revived Sheraton and Hepplewhite styles that lost momentum after World War I.

	Synoptique - Style Forum Part 2 : Contexts & Confessions
		Adam’s and Colin’s recent testaments to their powerful early encounters with film style are moving, and I always responded strongly to Brian’s initial emphasis on the crucial importance of object-love for film.
		In fact, styles that acknowledge this truth—and these would include Rossellini’s and Wiseman’s—are also the ones that are the hardest to see, whereas styles that think all there IS is the way-of-looking are very emphatic about their own looks and very easy to see.
		Adam’s design seems to be striking out at a similar concept (in the sense of a film as looking at and solving a problem).

	Robert Adam - Designs in the Castle Style - Dalquharran Castle Design
		Adam never survived to see the Castle completely finished as the internal work was not finished until well into the nineteenth century, but the Dalquharran scheme had allowed Adam time to develop and fully realise his ambitions.
		However drawing 31/40 also shows that Adam had settled on the composition of the elements within the façade at an early stage, and the main decisions left to be made were those regarding the decorative scheme.
		The built version was not to any design by Adam, unfortunate as the forecourt scheme developed by Adam is one of his most intricate and carefully he developed.
