	The Building of the National Gallery
		William Wilkins, the architect, had several problems, due to a series of exacting conditions on the nature of the building:
		The constraint that did not hold, in the end, was the cost one, and in typical architect's fashion, Wilkins felt able to breezily ignore it, coming up with a final bill of around 75,000 pounds.
		The architect chosen was Venturi, who opted for a facade fitting in with the existing architecture so far as was possible within a modern design.

	William Wilkins, architect
		William Wilkins (1778 - 1839) was an English architect, classical scholar and archaeologist.
		He was born in Norwich, and his father, also called William, was a successful builder who also managed a chain of theatres.

	William Wilkins (1778-1839) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
		The architect William Wilkins was educated in Cambridge, and travelled in Greece, Italy and elsewhere around the Eastern Mediterrannean before returning to England and setting up his architectural practice.
		So far as these pages are concerned, his most important work is the National Gallery, a classical effort with a good central portico, but which has been much criticised for its lack of unity and ability to command the north side of Trafalgar Square.
		Wilkins was more successful with his University College London (1827-28), with steps leading up to an enormous Corinthian portico (reminiscent of the British Museum, put up a couple of years earlier), and dome behind.

		Elections of noblemen and gentlemen continued but the clergy (including Thomas Dunham Whitaker) were perhaps predominant, and two notable classicists, one an archaeologist, Willliam Gell, and the other an architect, William Wilkins, were elected at the end of the year.
		In 1900, by contrast, noblemen were rare, although Lord Balcarres came in under the now-defunct instant process for the election of the eldest son of a Peer; gentry and clergy were, however, still prevalent.
		Yet this gifted eccentric, great nephew of Gilbert White of Selborne, the inventor of the Patent Alpine Porte-Knapsack and the composer of the ‘Alpine Queen or Mountaineer’s Song’, a besotted Baconian, and an advocate of Swedish gymnastics, was quite a somebody: his views on church restoration, for example, were already ‘anti-scrape’ in 1865.

	Gabion: Making a new wing out of nothing: Dixon and Jones at the National Gallery, London 3/4
		Where at the National Portrait Gallery the architects put in a long escalator to take you from ground level right up to the top, here the solution is more conventional.
		The original architect, William Wilkins (many have had a hand in the place since), designed it in the 1830s in true neo-classical fashion, with a pianonobile main floor perched up high above a raised basement level that was - and still is - used for offices and storage.
		Not that Wilkins carried this through - he gave it a ridiculous pimple of a central dome.

		As a man with a religious background, he would have undoubtedly noted St Mark's Church in Kennington, started in 1822 to a design by architect DR Roper.
		Vincent would have whisked passed The Oval cricket ground, which was opened in 1846 as a home for the Montpelier Club with turfs brought down from Tooting Common.
		He might have strayed towards St Martin's-in-the-Fields, designed in 1721 by James Gibbs, or The National Gallery built on the former site of the King's Mews to a design by architect William Wilkins in 1833.

	Gabion: What's wrong with the new Trafalgar Square: it's changed shape. 3/3
		Because there was always a busy road here, the Nat Gall's original architect William Wilkins had no space to put a grand flight of steps up to his portico.
		The Gallery's present architects, Sir Jeremy Dixon and Ed Jones, propose putting this right with a new ziggurat of steps.
		Now he has thrown everything out of kilter, there is only one visual solution: move Nelson, the lions and the fountains north a few yards.

		In 1804, William Wilkins, the architect of the National Gallery, had transformed the exterior of the original house into a Greek temple, while in 1820, C R Cockerell, the architect of the Ashmolean in Oxford, had been asked by Alexander Baring (soon 1st Baron Ashburton) to design the Orangerie.
