	Lutyens, Sir Edwin (Landseer) (b London, 29 March 1869; d London, 1 Jan 1944). English architect. His biographer asserted that ‘In his lifetime he was widely held to be ... [Britain’s] greatest architect since Wren if not, as many maintained, his superior’ (Hussey, 1950, p. xvii). In an extensive and wide-ranging oeuvre Lutyens’s successful integration of the romantic and classical traditions sustained his pre-eminence in British architecture for nearly half a century through a complex period of its development. He may be regarded as representing an alternative tradition to that which led to the acceptance of the Modern Movement in Britain.
