dbo:abstract
  • William Wilkinson Wardell (1823–1899) was a civil engineer and architect, notable not only for his work in Australia, the country to which he emigrated in 1858, but for a successful career as a surveyor and ecclesiastical architect in England and Scotland before his departure. In Australia, Wardell designed many public buildings. Most notable were St Patrick's Cathedral, Melbourne; Government House, Melbourne; St John's College, University of Sydney and St Mary's Cathedral, Sydney. He worked in both the Gothic and classical styles. Wardell not only constructed major works in the public sector, he also maintained a large private practice building houses and business premises for private individuals. He was Inspector-General of Public Works and Building, for the Colony of Victoria, from 1861 until 1878. As an architect he is often compared with his friend and English counterpart Augustus Pugin, with the vast majority of his buildings completed in the Gothic Revival architectural style. (en)
  • William Wilkinson Warder (Londra, 1823 – , 18 novembre 1899) è stato un architetto e ingegnere civile australiano, noto non solo per il suo lavoro in Australia, il paese in cui emigrò nel 1858, ma per una carriera di successo come geometra e architetto ecclesiastico in Inghilterra e Scozia prima della sua partenza. In Australia, Wardell ha progettato molti edifici pubblici, tra i quali i più importanti furono la Cattedrale di San Patrizio e la Government House a Melbourne, il St John's College, l'Università di Sydney e la Cattedrale di Santa Maria (St Mary's Cathedral) a Sydney. Nei suoi edifici ha privilegiato gli stili gotico e classico. Wardell non solo ha costruito importanti opere nel settore pubblico, ma ha anche mantenuto un grande studio privato costruendo case e locali commerciali per privati. Fu ispettore generale dei lavori pubblici e dell'edilizia, per la colonia di Victoria, dal 1861 al 1878. Come architetto viene spesso paragonato al suo amico e omologo inglese Augustus Pugin, con la maggior parte dei suoi edifici realizzati in stile neogotico. (it)
