SUMMARY:King Charles III: Architecture and Controversy
DESCRIPTION:As Prince of Wales\, King Charles III had a profound effect on the way architecture was viewed\, not just in the UK but around the world. By championing Classicism and traditional styles\, he gave heart to architects who had felt ostracized from their profession\, due to the ideological dominance of the Modern Movement. \n\n\n\nThe King first entered the fray with his famous “Carbuncle” speech. Not content merely to criticize what other people were doing\, Charles first persuaded the Duchy of Cornwall to create the model urban developments of Poundbury and Nansledan. Then\, in the 1990s\, a school for architecture and the crafts. All the aspects of the King’s personality can be seen in the intensely personal Arcadia he has created at Highgrove House in the Cotswolds\, with its famous garden. A different kind of Arcadia exists in parts of Transylvania\, where he owns homes in surroundings of prelapsarian beauty. \n\n\n\nAs King\, Charles is no longer head of the Duchy of Cornwall and cannot freely express his opinions. It is therefore time to assess the legacy of his 41 years of engagement with architecture. This lecture will show that it is astonishingly rich. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nClive Aslet is a writer\, publisher\, podcaster and visiting Professor of Architecture at the University of Cambridge. In 2025 he received the Board of Directors’ Award from the Institute of Classical Architecture and Art at the Arthur Ross Awards in New York. \n\n\n\nClive is now publisher of Triglyph Books\, the publishing house that he founded with photographer Dylan Thomas in 2019. Clive’s most recent book\, King Charles III: 40 Years of Architecture\, is a tribute to the King’s long-standing passion for architecture\, seen in the many causes he has championed as well as the model development undertaken by the Duchy of Cornwall while he was Prince of Wales.  \n\n\n\nCopies of the book will be available for sale ($25) after the lecture. \n\n\n\nThe English-Speaking Union Denver Branch and the Denver Woman’s Press Club will host Clive at the clubhouse of the Denver Woman’s Press Club on Monday\, October 12\, 2026\, from 5 to 7 pm MST. There will be Hors d’oeuvres and beverages before the lecture. $20 per person for non-members; ESU and DWPC members attend for free. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nRegistration is required using the link below. It has a PayPal payment option for non-members. Registration deadline is October 5\, 2026. \n\n\n\nContact denver@esuus.org for more information.
