Victorian Architectural Competitions: An Index to British and Irish Architectural Competitions in The Builder, 1843 - 1900

---

The architectural competition in the nineteenth century was a popular and pervasive system, ingrained in the practice of architecture, and before the era of professional qualifying examinations was one of the most important ways for an architect to become known and the quality of his work appreciated. Compe- titions were used to decide the designs of a wide range of buildings: public baths, banks, cemeteries, churches, corn ex- changes, asylums and hospitals, houses, institutes, libraries, markets, offices, schools, town halls and warehouses. There were also competitions for such curios- ities as cow byres and cabman's shelters, and for such projects peripheral to archi- tecture in its strictest sense as cricket pavilions, bridges, clock towers, drinking fountains, monuments, bandstands and seaside piers.

This book indexes 2,542 British and Irish architectural competitions reported in The Builder, from its first weekly issue in 1843 until 1900. The Builder (now Building), the most important journal devoted to the building and architectural world in the nineteenth century, recorded details of the competitions, commented on the qualities or lack of qualities of the entries, reproduced drawings, and discussed at length the merits and demerits of the competition system.
