ABSTRACT

The Lumiere Brothers showed their first film in Paris in 1895 and London in 1896, purpose built cinemas followed rapidly and in 1910 newsreels started showing in cinemas worldwide, with the Daily Bioscope in London screening them continuously from its opening in 1909. By the early 1960s there were 28 universities and training colleges as well as ten Colleges of Advanced Technology offering a mixture of Diplomas in Technology and degrees from London University. Within two years Llewelyn-Davies was appointed Professor of Architecture at the Bartlett School of Architecture, University College London and would implement his programme, 'Education of an Architect', at one of London's most influential schools. Oxford ensured that the universities and polytechnics would take over responsibility for delivering architecture training, although the subject was never turned into a fully academic discipline concerned with both the expansion and inculcation of knowledge.
