欢迎Lessig教授访问伦敦 昨日勾留South Kensington,忽见一红楼有皇家地理学会(Royal Geographical Society)标牌,正是5月27日 Lessig 教授的演讲地。遂 留影 。 《自由文化》汉译 团队的 Chenwei 将专程来伦敦出席此次 伦敦国际戏剧节（LIFT） 主办的演讲会，并代表 iCommons China 与 SocialBrain.org 与来教授会面，进一步切磋《自由文化》汉语版相关问题。此次工作会晤是翻译团队继上月伯克莱会面后与来教授的第二次当面沟通。 皇家地理学会在海德公园旁，近 皇家阿尔伯特厅 。演讲会票价10镑，学生优惠票5镑。欢迎各位同往。 写完有关21世纪中国出版的不够严肃新闻通稿，容我回到主课19、20世纪英国建筑。 皇家地理学会原为Lowther Lodge，是大建筑师R Norman Shaw的安妮女王风格力作。《伦敦建筑导览》的相关篇章如下： Royal Geographical Society ex Lother Lodge 1873-5 Kensington Gore and Exhibition Road SW7 R Norman Shaw Tube: Knightsbridge, High Street Kensington With its skillful asymmetrical elevations and masterful brickwork, Lowther Lodge is a tour de force of the Queen Anne style.When the house was built (for William Lowther MP), Kensington was almost fully developed, although the adjacent sites were still empty. Unlike Shaw's other(more urban) London houses, this seems to be a country mansion encroached on by the town. The Hyde Park front is set back behind an entrance court with the stable wing to the east. The fasade of fine brickwork has no stone dressings, and the pediments, gables, pilasters, massive chimneys and exaggerated cornices are made from 50mm(2in) cut brickwork. The external details are reminiscent more of Shaw's partner Nesfield's Lodge at Kew than of his own contemporary work in Queen's Gate and Melbury Road. Following Lowther's death in 1912, the house was bought by the Royal Geographical Society. In 1928-30 an inoffensive lecture hall was added by Kennedy and Nightingale on the site of the stables at the corner of Kensington Gore and Exhibition Road. The statues of Shackleton and Livingstone, also on the corner facing Exhibition Road and Kensington Gore, are by C Sargeant Jagger(1932).
