dbo:abstract
  • La Office of Works [en español, 'Oficina de Obras'] fue un departamento de control establecido en la casa Real Inglesa en 1378 para supervisar la construcción de los castillos y residencias reales. En 1832 se convirtió en el Works Department [Departamento de Obras] dependiente de la Office of Woods, Forests, Land Revenues, Works and Buildings [Oficina de maderas, bosques, ingresos de las tierras, obras y edificios]. Fue reconstituida como un departamento del gobierno en 1851 y pasó a formar parte del [Ministerio de Obras] en 1940. La organización de la oficina varió mucho con los años, pero al final estaba encabezada por un Surveyor (inspector o supervisor, aunque también se traduce como agrimensor, topógrafo o aparejador) y era administrada por un Comptroller [Interventor o controlador o supervisor]. En 1782 estas oficinas se fusionaron en Surveyor-General and Comptroller [Inspector general y vontrolador]. Desde 1761 no fueron nombrados arquitectos. La oficina también tuvo cargos de Secretary, Master Mason y Master Carpenter [secretario, maestro masón y maestro carpintero]. Después de la muerte de James Wyatt en 1813 fue nombrado un Surveyor-General no profesional, el coronel B.C. Stephenson que estaba asistido por tres Attached Architects (arquitectos adjuntos): sir John Soane, John Nash y sir Robert Smirke. Este acuerdo terminó en 1832 con la formación del Works Department [Dirección de Obras] y H.H. Seward fue nombrado 'Surveyor of Works and Buildings (inspector de Obras y Edificios). (es)
  • The Office of Works was established in the English royal household in 1378 to oversee the building and maintenance of the royal castles and residences. In 1832 it became the Works Department forces within the Office of Woods, Forests, Land Revenues, Works and Buildings. It was reconstituted as a government department in 1851 and became part of the Ministry of Works in 1940. The organisation of the office varied; senior posts included Surveyor of the King's Works (1578–1782) and Comptroller of the King's Works (1423–1782). In 1782 these offices were merged into Surveyor-General and Comptroller. From 1761 there were named Architects. The office also had posts of Secretary, Master Mason and Master Carpenter. After James Wyatt's death in 1813 a non-professional Surveyor-General was appointed: Major-General Sir Benjamin Stephenson. He was assisted by three "Attached Architects": Sir John Soane, John Nash and Sir Robert Smirke. This arrangement ended in 1832 with the formation of the Works Department, when architect Henry Hake Seward was appointed Surveyor of Works and Buildings. (en)
