Lugar included a 16-page discussion of the “Style and Character of Buildings.” In his opening remarks, he suggested that local circumstances or needs could justify variety and irregularity in architecture, “[the architect must] form a whole appropriate to the locality or situation, to the circumstances and wishes of his employer.” Thus many of Lugar’s designs exhibit “dissimilarity and variety” because they “have been made for particular situations and for particular persons. Nevertheless, the architect should aim for regularity; “a house which partakes in form much of the cube will be more compact in the plan and elevation, afford more conveniences with less cost, than any other form.” Coloured plates in order: 1.
