  William Kent - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kent's domed pavilions were erected at Badminton House and at Euston Hall.
Kent's only real downfall was said to be his lack of horticultural knowledge and technical skill (which people like Charles Bridgeman possessed - his impact on Kent is often underestimated), but his naturalistic style of design compensated.
In his own age, Kent's fame and popularity were so great that he was employed to give designs for all things, even for ladies' birthday dresses, of which he could know nothing and which he decorated with the five classical orders of architecture.

 William Kent in Horace Walpole Essay on Modern Gardening
Fortunately Kent and a few others were not quite so timid, or we might still be going up and down stairs in the open air.
It is true we have heard much lately, as Sir William Temple did, of irregularity and imitations of nature in the gardens or grounds of the Chinese.
The former is certainly true; they are as whimsically irregular as European gardens are formally uniform, and unvaried- but with regard to nature, it seems as much avoided, as in the squares and oblongs and straight lines of our ancestors.
