“The fire…as a substitute for the sun”
Cheerfulness akin to the delight sunlight brings
http://www.blackwell.org.uk/dining-room
• The fireplace in the hall is mirrored by the one in the Dining
Room with its original Delft tiles and unusual “keying” of the
green slate and pink sandstone lintels.
• Here, the dominating colour was blue. The tiles, stained glass
and hessian wall hangings play on its various shades, with the
oak panelling providing the base note.
• The wall hangings, designed by Baillie Scott, would once have
had a dark blue background but this has faded, changing the
balance of colour somewhat from that originally intended. “A
room decorated in tones of blue and mauve”, Baillie Scott
wrote, “may be dainty and refined .... fitting for dinner parties”.

Synthesis Paper #3
Due Monday by 4pm
Points 25
Submitting on paper
Synthesis Projects
You will develop a 2-page paper demonstrating your understanding of the subject matter of that specific time
period. You may choose any design topic of that time that is of interest to you. Think of these projects as an
opportunity to gain expertise in an area that is of interest to you. Focus on materials, ornament, structural
elements, textiles, furnishings, architectural organization, etc. There is not a limit to an area for inquiry for
these projects.
Consider the following (you do not need to include all these elements, select the most appropriate ideas for
your topic):
1. How did social and political factors influence the design of the period?
2. Select two examples of design from the time period (architecture, interiors, or furniture). Sketch and
describe how these two examples represent the time period. Discuss combinations of design periods, if
appropriate.
3. Discuss one interior designer or architect from the specific time period. Why were their designs important
during this time?
4. Describe significant materials and applications during this time period. Why were these materials
important?
Each project will be 2 pages in length. It will include 2 hand/manual-drawn sketches or 2 hybrid digital/
manual sketches of designs from the period. Each sketch must include notations with arrows describing the
design.

• It is a rural interpretation of highstyle design; the eighteenthcentury principles of symmetry and
proportion derived from
Renaissance architectural theory
have not been strictly observed.
The arrangement of the fireplace
wall is asymmetrical, and the
capitals and entablature above the
pilasters do not rest on a horizontal
support and thus appear to be
suspended over the fireplace. The
blue of the woodwork is based on
traces of original paint.
