Sir Banister Flight Fletcher (15 February 1866, London – 17 August 1953, London) was an English architect and architectural historian, as was his father, also named Banister Fletcher. They co-authored the standard textbook ''A History of Architecture'', which is also often referred to just as Banister Fletcher. ==Life== Fletcher trained at King's College London and University College, London, and joined his father's practice in 1884, also studying at the Royal Academy Schools, the Architectural Association, and the École des Beaux-Arts, Paris. He became a partner in 1889, and on his father's death in 1899 took over the practice, which continued to be called Banister Fletcher & Sons. Fletcher worked closely with his younger brother Herbert Phillips Fletcher (1872–1916) as well as his father. Herbert was also a partner in the family firm and they co-authored some books together. He was "regarded as a minor figure in the modernist movement" in his early career, and generally preferred to write rather than design.〔ODNB〕 Banister's work as an architect included: * the Gillette factory on the Great West Road, in Brentford, Middlesex * John Roan School (Maze Hill site), Greenwich〔The John Roan School (upper School), Greenwich http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-504217-the-john-roan-school-upper-school-greenw〕 * the Great Hall at King's College School〔 *(Map and pictures of King's College School ) 〕 * Abbess Grange, Leckford, Hampshire In 1908 he qualified as a barrister at the Inner Temple, and undertook arbitrations and advice on property matters.〔ODNB〕 He was knighted in 1919 and elected president of the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) in 1929 (until 1931). Fletcher was surveyor to the Worshipful Company of Carpenters, and became Master in 1936, a position also held by his father. He married twice, first, in 1914, to Alice Bretherton (d.1932)〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.npg.org.uk/collections/search/portrait/mw113566/Alice-Maud-Mary-nee-Bretherton-Lady-Fletcher#sitter )〕 and again in 1933. He had no children.〔ODNB〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sir Banister Fletcher」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
