Afternoon class

At this days afternoon class we went to see some buildings from the 18th century designed by one of the most famous Scottish architects, Robert Adam (1728 – 92). He was grounder at the neo classicism in Scotland. We went inside to one of the buildings at Charlotte Square, a part of the New Town (18th century). Robert Adam haven’t designed the individual rows only the palace front so the houses have a "grand civic composition". A video at the museum told that Edinburgh at that time was called the "North Athens". Despite of the modern new look the rows didn’t have any facilities like water, bath or sewerage. Everything has to be delivered or taken away by hand.
