So how much should planners and architects know about historic buildings? Can you tell Georgian domestic architecture from Victorian? One of our #CPD sessions at AMS Planning talks about the (sometimes) subtle differences that are obvious when you know. What do you think? (HBOs aren’t allowed to take part…they might get it wrong!) #heritage #georgianarchitecture #victorian No cheating by looking up my YouTube channel video on this subject!

I think the best lesson I have had is to never assume! If a building is 100s of years old, it has likely gone through numerous iterations of style and taste based upon what was fashionable at the time. However, this tends to be focused on higher end buildings. Vernacular architecture may not have changed styles as often. Also, the layers of age and earlier architecture may still remain under the more 'recent' masks. Never judge a book by its cover comes to mind. But love the idea of getting planners to better understand the historic built environment! Thanks for sharing.
I rarely work with properties older than about 1920 but thought I’d give it a try. Let me know how I did: 1 - Victorian 2 - Georgian 3 - Victorian 4 - Georgian 5 - Victorian 6 - Georgian 7 - Victorian 8 - Victorian 9 - Georgian

Looks can also be deceiving. Always be mindful that some of these facades might be hiding something much older.
