INFLUENCE DEPICTED ON
HISTORIC BUILDINGS,
Continuing his saries of lectures on "Architecture" before an au dience comprised of students and others at the Hongkong Univer sity last night, Mr. C. E. Moore reviewed the period of French architecture from the year 1527 to 1792,
He said that no modern natión has approached the French in their capacity for handling large design, not only the design of monumental buildings, but also the problem of their location in relation to other buildings.
The French passion for logical order and lucidity of statement asserts itself in their civic archi- tecture in a manner worthy of the traditions of Imperial Rome.
The lecturer dealt with the
development of architecture as it aissance, which, he said, was was promoted by the French Ren- started by Francis I about 1527. An invasion into Italy and the subsequent importation into France of Italian artista and work- decided men brought about a Italian influence in the French ar- chitecture of that period. It was during the reign of Louis XIII (1610-1643) that the Renaissance Assist-
reached its culmination.
The Chairman-Wards 10 and 11 in "A" block of the Government Civil Hospital have four loud speakers each.
