His architectural career began in 1661 when Charles II appointed him assistant to the royal architect and in 1665 he spent six months in Paris studying architecture. The distinguished buildings Wren created in the years thereafter owe much of their cerebral rigor to his mathematical training. After the great fire of 1666 Wren prepared a master plan for the reconstruction of London, which was never executed. He designed, however, many new buildings that were built, the greatest of which was Saint Paul's Cathedral See biographies by A. Tinniswood (2001) and L. Jardine (2003); studies by G. Webb (1937), E. F. Sekler (1956), V. FUrst (1956), J. N. Summerson (new ed. 1965), and M. Whinney (1972).

http://www.bluffton.edu/~sullivanm/england/london/wrenmonument/wren.html

Extractions: This Roman Doric column with a flaming urn at the top was erected by Parliament to commemorate the Great Fire, which began on September 2, 1666 and in four days destroyed more than 80% of the City, including almost a hundred churches, most of the public buildings, and hundreds of streets with thousands of houses. The Portland stone column is 202 feet tall, the distance east from its base to the spot where the actual fire started in Pudding Lane. The Monument is at the intersection of Monument Street and Fish Street. The relief depicts a personification of London grieving while Time lifts her up. Behind her buildings are in flame. Peace and Prosperity are in the clouds, a promise of the renewal of London. Charles II in armor is on the right.

Extractions: Sir Christopher Wren The scale of St. Paul's Cathedral is immense, with the dome visible from various points in London. Here, the shorter tower to the left of the dome indicates the distance from the crossing/dome to the front west towers. The transepts are prominent (also see below) with pediments and semicircular porticos. According to Margaret Whinney, the semicircular portico is "almost certainly an adaptation of the facade of Santa Maria della Pace in Rome, and the pediment with a lunette in it may have come from the same source," (111) which Wren could have seen in engravings. Drawings exist which indicate that Wren was initially interested in designing a west front portico with giant columns extending through two stories. Instead, because the quarries were unable to cut stone large enough, Wren's design was a compromisestill emphatic with paired Corinthian columns, but in two tiers, six pairs below and four above. The pediment above depicts in relief the conversion of St. Paul (1706) by Francis Bird, who also designed the statue of St. Paul at the apex of the pediment. Whinney notes that these towers resemble Wren's late steeple designs, with columns surrounding a central core, "two visible above each face of the square tower below, while between them two further paired columns stand out over the angles of the tower" (115).

Extractions: Gallery Sir Christopher Wren (1632-1723) Christopher Wren studied mathematics and physics when he was at university. He was only twenty nine when he was made professor of Astronomy at Oxford. Wren started his career as an architect with the Sheldonian Theater in Oxford in 1662. He visited Paris in 1665, where he met the Italian sculptor Bernini, but Wren returned to a devastated London. The Great Fire of 1666 had destroyed much of the city. Wren was responsible for the rebuilding of St Paul's Cathedral, as well as fifty two other London churches. After his great achievements in the city, he was knighted and was made President of the Royal Society in 1680. Close Window Homepage Topic Chapters ...

October 20 Saint Paul's Cathedral, designed by Sir Christopher Wren. Born in East Knoyle, Wiltshire, on October 20, 1632, Sir Christopher Wren is considered by many to be the greatest British architect of all time. The sheer breadth and vision of his work has made its presence felt for more than three centuries and has helped define the London we know today. The fact that Wren's legacy rests almost entirely upon his architectural work is somewhat surprising considering that it was not until 1663 that he designed his first building. Wren spent the first 30 years of his life consumed with science and math, specifically with astronomy, physics, and anatomy. In fact, Sir Isaac Newton included Wren, along with John Wallis and Christian Huygens, in a list of the three greatest geometers of the age. Always tinkering with different inventions, by the time Wren entered Wadham College, Oxford, at the age of 17, he had already created (among other things) an instrument that wrote in the dark, a pneumatic engine, and a new language for the deaf. A working barometer, transparent beehives, and microscope improvements were just a few of the many projects that occupied Wren throughout his life. The physical and mental dexterity demanded by such work was clearly utilized when Wren found his true calling, architecture.

Extractions: Wren became Savile Professor of Astronomy at Oxford in 1661 and held this post until 1673. His interests proved to be architecture and geometry as well as astronomy. In 1663 he designed the chapel at Pembroke College, Cambridge; in 1664, the Sheldonian Theatre, Oxford; and in 1665, buildings for Trinity College, Oxford. His greatest opportunity in architecture came with the rebuilding that followed the London fire of 1666. He replanned the entire city and supervised the rebuilding of 51 churches. His most famous design was that of Saint Paul's Cathedral. Although he is known today almost exclusively for his architectural achievement Wren was a very famous mathematician in his own day. Newton, never one to give excessive praise to others, states in the Principia that he ranks Wren together with Wallis and Huygens as the leading geometers of the day.
