Such was the verdict of the Austrian statesman Klemens von Metternich on the eclectic, exoticized, and sensuous Royal Pavilion at Brighton. While not all the contemporary reactions to the Pavilion were critical, John Evans, for example, admired its “grandeur,” it was a building which provoked a predominantly critical response in Regency England (...
The ostensible aesthetic randomness of the Pavilion is best comprehended as the material expression of the profligate and rebellious life of its extraordinary benefactor, the Prince Regent, the future George IV, undoubtedly the greatest royal patron of the arts since King Charles I. A man of easy wit and charm, as well as political indolence and qu...

Subsequently criticized for an overly fashionable and reckless approach to architectural practice and a resultant lack of purity in the finished product, Nash had planned Regent’s Street and Regent’s Park in London as a celebration of the rise of the new consumer cla...

The Entrance Hall, for instance, is symmetrica...
The Royal Pavilion at Brighton, in all its apparent kaleidoscopic silliness, brashness, vitality, phantasmagoric contradictions and oppositions, references, and tries—though not always succeeds—to respond to the tastes of a new fashionable elite at home and to make sense (or not) of a new world of empire abroad. Indeed, in all its range and variety...
