ABSTRACT
One of the most overlooked and yet unique connections between the architectural cultures of Ireland and Great Britain in the early twentieth century is the built work in Northern Ireland of London-based architect Clough Williams-Ellis. His housing, schools and church in Country Antrim represent a significant portion his architectural legacy. This paper re-examines previous scholarship on Williams-Ellis’s Northern Irish projects through an analysis of multiple sources: original drawings held in the Royal Institute of British Architects’ (RIBA) drawing collection at the Victoria and Albert Museum, London; primary materials held in Williams-Ellis’s archive in the National Library of Wales, Aberystwyth and Williams-Ellis’s own prolific writing. The piece relates the Northern Irish projects to one another, scrutinises Williams-Ellis’s own practice within the Northern Irish context and situates the significance of this body of work in the larger, ongoing discussion of 20th century architecture in Western Europe.

摘要
二十世纪初,爱尔兰和英国的建筑文化之间最容易被忽视但又最独特的联系之一是伦敦建筑师克拉夫·威廉姆斯-埃利斯 (Clough Williams-Ellis) 在北爱尔兰的建筑作品。他在安特里姆乡村的住房、学校和教堂是他建筑遗产的重要组成部分。本文通过对多个来源的分析,重新审视了之前威廉姆斯-埃利斯北爱尔兰项目的奖学金:伦敦维多利亚和阿尔伯特博物馆英国皇家建筑师学会 (RIBA) 图纸收藏中的原始图纸;保存在威尔士国家图书馆 Williams-Ellis 档案中的主要材料、Aberystwyth 和 Williams-Ellis 自己的多产著作。这件作品将北爱尔兰的项目相互联系起来,个世纪的建筑在西欧。
