		The best known design by Campbell is Mereworth in Kent, built on a model from Palladio's Villa Rotonda near Vincenza.
		The plan of both villas embodies the Vitruvian ideal of perfect geometrical relationship, a circle within a square: a circular Roman temple behind four matching colonaded temple porticos.
		Campbell published Vitruvius Brittanicus (1715), sponsored by Boyle, along with two more volumes published in 1717 and 1725.

		Campbell’s major buildings were Wanstead House, Essex (1715–20, destroyed), which incorporated what Campbell claimed to be England’s first classical portico; the remodeling of Burlington House, London (c.1717) for his patron, Lord Burlington; and Mereworth Castle, Kent (1723).
		Through his writings and his executed buildings, Campbell’s influence on English architecture was great.

	Campbell Coat of Arms, Family Crest
		A Strathclyde-Briton family from the Scottish/English Borderlands was the first to use the surname Campbell.
		This nickname surname is derived from the Gaelic words "cam" and "beul," meaning "crooked" and "mouth." Nicknames were a common source for surnames; in general, they came from the physical characteristics, behavior, mannerisms and other attributes of the bearer.
		This practice, which often included paying homage to the Clan Chief at important events was effective in building respect, devotion and familiarity between different families within the same clan.

	Embassy of Italy in Londra
		Its buildings had to be imposing and elegant at the same time, all part of a harmonic architectural plan that had to be set along the four sides of the square.
		The East flank (where the Embassy is located) was originally designed in 1725 by the Scottish architect Colen Campbell (1676-1729), but his ideas were never transformed into reality.
		It is unclear why the plan by Campbell was discarded, but in any case work began on the site in 1725 under the direction of John Simmons.

		Another notable figure was Colen Campbell (1684-1729), author of ‘Vitruvius Britannicus’ in 1717, the influential discussion of the works of Palladio, who also worked on designs for Houghton Hall (1721-1725) in Norfolk, for Sir Robert Walpole.
		Later in the century another leading architect Sir John Soane (1753-1837), did some of his earlier work in Norfolk, such as Shottesham Hall (1785-88), for the Fellowes family, Letton Hall (1785-88), and the Rectory of Saxllingham Nethergate.
		However, where as Soane started to concentrate upon commissions elsewhere, Matthew Brettingham (1699-1769), despite becoming successful at a national level, continued with local projects such as the alterations at Langley Hall (1740-50); the re-building of Gunton Hall after it was gutted by fire in 1742; and the plans for Shadwell Lodge at Rushford in 1760.

	About Scotland Edinburgh New Town 18th century Architects
		It is a fact, too often not acknowledged, that the most important British architects of this age, Colen Campbell, James Gibbs and Robert Adam were Scots, interpreting the first phase of Classicism in the Palladian form.
		Gibbs and Campbell both produced books full of detailed drawings and plans of Classical Orders and ornamentation which could be used by others, and which served as an inspiration not only for builders but also for their clients.
		In fact the clients saw themselves as the heirs of the glories of Rome; they idolised Virgil, Pliny and Cicero, and sought to model their lives on such classical principals as virtue, wisdom and harmony, and consequently tried to reflect these qualities in their surroundings, in their houses and public buildings.

		Among them were Batty Langley's Treasury of Designs (purchased in 1751), Isaac Ware's edition of Palladio (purchased by 1754), and Colen Campbell's Vitruvius Britannicus (purchased by 1756).

	Getting a grip on Handel
		An unlikely musical juxtaposition, yet their ghosts may meet in the new Handel House Museum, which has incorporated the upper floors of number 23 into its premises.
		At the fashionable Grosvenor Square end, eminent architects (including Colen Campbell and Jeffry Wyatt) designed grand houses for occupation by peers and politicians (including William Pitt), but Handel's house was part of a more modest terrace development by builder George Barnes at the Hanover Square end.
		The dog-leg staircase is disproportionately grand; since Handel took the lease before the house was completed, it may well be that he specified a large stairway, so that keyboard instruments could be carried in and out easily.
