EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, Elisabeth Scott, a trailblazing architect of the 20th century, is captured at the opening of the Fawcett Building at Newnham College, Cambridge. The Fawcett Building, completed in 1938, was one of several projects Scott undertook for Newnham College, making her a significant figure in the development of the institution's architectural landscape. Elisabeth Scott's career began to take off in 1928 when her design was selected for the new Shakespeare Memorial Theatre in Stratford-on-Avon. This project marked a turning point in her career, leading to her appointment as an Associate of the Royal Institute of British Architects (ARIBA) in 1930. The Shakespeare Memorial Theatre, which opened in 1932, is a testament to Scott's innovative and visionary approach to architecture. Scott's design for the Fawcett Building at Newnham College reflects her commitment to creating functional and aesthetically pleasing structures. The building, which houses the college's library and the Old Combination Room, is a fine example of her ability to blend traditional and modern architectural styles. The Fawcett Building's elegant design and practical layout have stood the test of time, making it a cherished part of Newnham College's history. Elisabeth Scott's contributions to British architecture extend beyond Newnham College and the Shakespeare Memorial Theatre. Her designs for the Royal College of Physicians in London, the National Theatre in London, and the Royal Festival Hall in London are just a few examples of her impressive body of work. Scott's legacy continues to inspire architects and designers today, and her impact on the built environment of the United Kingdom is a lasting testament to her vision and talent. This photograph captures a moment in time when Elisabeth Scott, a pioneering architect, celebrates the completion of another project that would leave a lasting mark on the architectural landscape of Cambridge and beyond.
