  Robert Taylor (architect) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sir Robert Taylor (1714 – 1788) was a notable English architect of the mid-late 18th century.
Through such connections, he came to be appointed as architect to the Bank of England until his death in 1788 (when he was succeeded by Sir John Soane).
The Taylor Institution, Oxford University's centre for the study of medieval and modern European languages and literatures, takes its name from a bequest for that purpose from Sir Robert who left his fortune to the University.

TAYLOR, MICHAEL ANGELO (1757-1834), English politician, was a son of Sir Robert Taylor (1714-1788), the architect, and was educated at Corpus Christi College, Oxford, becoming a barrister at Lincoln's Inn in 1774.
He entered the House of Commons as member for Poole in 1784, and, with the exception of the short period from 1802 to 1806, remained a member of parliament- until 1834, although not as the representative of the same constituency.
In parliament Taylor showed himself anxious to curtail the delays in the Court of Chancery, and to improve the lighting and paving of the London streets; and he was largely instrumental in bringing about the abolition of the pillory.

 Robert Robinson Taylor: Institute Archives & Special Collections: MIT
Taylor seemed like an ideal recruit for several reasons: he was fl, a Southerner, bright, a hard worker, and--last but not least--the recipient of a sound education at the premier technical institute in the country.
Taylor's oversight role in the case is indicative of the extent to which Tuskegee staff were expected to commit themselves to the total life of the community--the social and moral aspects, as well as the strictly professional.
Taylor was a man of fine character, strict integrity, progressive, of quiet mien, and one who held a fine sense of civic obligation and responsibility.

Roberts was a shy man who was well-respected in his field.
Roberts, a respected computer scientist with good management skills who also had networking experience (which was a rare commodity in those days) was the ideal candidate to lead ARPA's networking project.
Indeed, Taylor had said that the job would put Roberts in position to become IPTO Director when Taylor stepped down, but Roberts was happy where he was and did not want to leave.

Taylor thought that it might take another ten or twenty years of hard work before the interactive informational communities foretold by Bush and Licklider would truly affect the wider population.
Taylor and Licklider were more concerned about the further development of this test-bed for advanced communications and thought amplification than they were dedicated to the use of the network as an operational entity for conducting weapons research.
What Taylor meant was that the time-sharing programmers had all been accustomed in the mid 1960s to doing their serious computing in the middle of the night, when the amount of traffic on the central computer was light enough to perform truly large information processing tasks without delay.

Robert Boyle was born in Lismore, in Ireland, on the January 25, 1627.
Meanwhile Robert decided that his health and lack of money ruled out a return to Ireland, and his age made soldiering in Holland an untempting and indeed implausible prospect.
He and his assistant, at the time Robert Hooke, made a J shaped tube and began to make a few measurements, but "were hindered from prosecuting the trial at that time by the casual breaking of the tube."

Miami Beach pioneer N.B.T. Roney and his architect Robert A. Taylor planned a village modeled after the romantic Mediterranean villages in Spain and France that would attract artists and art lovers.
Taylor’s vision of an authentic Old World village with narrow, winding alleyways had to conform to Miami Beach’s established street grid, so the 70’ wide expanse of Drexel Avenue dictated a large open space in the midst of the Village.
Taylor’s richly designed Mediterranean Revival architecture had inspired talk of some sort of fountain or monument at the intersection Drexel and Española.

The northern part of the present house (and others had stood here before it) was built in 1540 by Sir John Champneys, a merchant and Lord Mayor of London.
About a century later, (ie 1650), Robert Austen acquired the property and added a new block of dark red brick on the south side.
