	Guardian Unlimited Arts \| Arts critics \| Who was George Gilbert Scott Jr?
		Scott Jr's early years (Eton, Cambridge, a fellowship at Jesus College) were cosseted by his father's self-made fortune, and he lived the rest of his life in the imposing gothic shadow of Great Scott.
		Giles was one of Scott Jr's six children - and one of the 20th century's greatest architects.
		Giles Gilbert Scott once said: "Grandfather was the successful practical man, and a phenomenal scholar in gothic precedent, but father was the artist." An artist, yes, but how tragic that the Norwich cathedral, Scott Jr's biggest commission, was to prove a denial of his innovative artistry, a return to his father's pedantic form.

		Scott was sent to Beaumont College on the recommendation of his father, not because of any educational significance but because he admired the school buildings which were the work of J.
		Scott rarely designed residential buildings but when he did, it could be successful as at the mansion block Cropthorne Court on Maida Vale in London where the frontage juts out in diagonals in order to reduce the need for lightwells.By far Scott's most ubiquitous design was for the General Post Office.
		The early 1930s were a time when Scott's reputation was the highest and he was chosen as President of the Royal Institute of British Architects for 1933, its centenary year.

		A wooden mock-up of Sir Giles Gilbert Scott's 1924 submitted kiosk design is still in use as a payphone kiosk under the arch at the Royal Academy, Piccadilly, London.
		The winner was a design by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott and, after a slight modification to the door and change of material from mild steel to cast iron, it was adopted by the Post Office and designated Kiosk No. 2, or K2.
		Gilbert Scott's original model of what was to become the K2 still stands outside the National Gallery, at first glance identical to its progeny although it is in fact different in some details, principally in its wooden construction.

	The Annunciation and St Edmund Campion - History
		The Roman Catholic Church of the Annunciation was built 1905/6 by Giles Gilbert Scott, with G.F.Bodley as joint architect owing to Scott's inexperience, as a church of modest size for the Society of Jesus, (Jesuits).
		Scott's church had no coloured glass, and I have a feeling that he would not have approved of the one window that has since been fitted with stained glass depicting Marian scenes and dedicated to the memory of Harold Wrangel Clarke, MD, who died in 1945.
		Giles Gilbert Scott designed and built many churches including the Anglican cathedral in Liverpool, but Annunciation Church was his first - the test bed for his ideas and designs.

		In 1929, the K3 was introduced, designed also by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott, and intended for scenic and special sites, and also general outdoor use in both rural and urban areas.
		The subsequent K8 of 1968 by Douglas Scott and Bruce Martin became the successor to the K6 for all replacements and new installations.
		In sum, the work by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott (incidently, whose grandfather was also a famous architect) illustrates the power of a successful design, one which can survive the test of time, and be reborn as a distinctive heritage artifact.

		Whilelands College was designed by Giles Gilbert Scott in 1930 as a purpose-built home for an Anglican teacher-training college for women which was planning on moving out to Surrey from Chelsea (it's in Putney, and ended up as part of University of Surrey, Roeharnpton).
		Scott was asked to reuse fittings and Burne Jones stained glass from the original chapel in his new building, so the Ruskinian connections are very evident.
		Middle English likens Scott's brickwork to smocking: it has a "mesmeric textile quality", it is functional and flexible and can be simple or include stories and emblems.

	Sir George Gilbert Scott (1811-78), architect, a biography
		Working almost exclusively in the Gothic style, he became one of the most succesful architects of his generation, but his unshakeable belief in the supremacy of Gothic over the Classical and Renaissance styles for public and collegiate buildings, together with his often conjectural 'restorations' of medieval churches, often resulted in controversy.
		His most famous buildings in England are both in London, the Albert Memorial (1862-72), which incorporates his carved portrait (by J B Philip), and the Grand Midland Station and Hotel, St Pancras (1868-74), where his son George committed suicide in 1897.
		After his death, the firm passed to John Oldrid Scott and later to his grandson, Sir Giles Gilbert Scott (1880-1960), the architect of Liverpool's Anglican Cathedral.
