Architects design all kinds of buildings. They design schools and
skyscrapers. They design hospitals and hotels. They also design
churches, train stations and plain old regular houses.
Any building that is used by people was probably designed by some architect.
Okay then, but what does the word "design" mean? A design is simply a
plan. Before constructing a building, an architect needs to draw a plan
of the building. Sometimes architects will make a cardboard or plastic
model of the building.
The building is then built by a construction company which follows the
directions of the plans for the building. The architect will closely
supervise the construction company to make sure that the building is
built according to the plans.
Okay then, but but what does an architect do when he or she draws up a plan?
Architects have to thnk of many things before they draw up the plans for
a building. First they have to think about what the building will be
used for. How many people are going to use the building at the same
time? What types of activities will these people do in the building?
An office building will need lots of small rooms for offices. A school
will need many medium-sized rooms for classrooms. And a train station
will need one larger room for hundreds of people to pass thru at the
same time.

So what did Roger Morris, do?
Roger Morris, (1695-1749) architect, remodelled the original
Anglo-Palladian villa designed at Cobham Park by John Bridges. From
humble beginnings Morris became a highly influential figure in 18th
century architecture, and his practice was highly prestigious. In
particular, his designs at Clearwell Castle in Gloucestershire (c.1728),
and Inveraray Castle in Argyll (begun 1745) were highly unique and
influential. A good source about his work is 'The Careers of Roger and
Robert Morris' by S. Parissien, 1989.
He bult Marble Hill!
