EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the excitement and anticipation at the Design Exhibition for the proposed new government offices in Westminster Hall, held in 1857. The competition to design the new Ministeria, as it was then called, attracted the attention of architecture enthusiasts and the general public alike, who gathered to view the impressive entries that filled Westminster Hall. The Victorian era was a time of significant architectural innovation, and this competition represented an opportunity to create a new landmark for the heart of government. The space immediately to the north of Great George Street in Westminster was the chosen location for the new offices, and the designs on display at the exhibition ranged from the traditional to the avant-garde. The photograph shows a sea of curious onlookers, their eyes fixed on the intricate models and detailed drawings that adorned the tables and walls of the hall. The atmosphere is one of wonder and intrigue, as the public considers the possibilities of these new designs. The architectural community, too, was eagerly watching the competition, as it represented an opportunity to make their mark on the city and leave a lasting legacy. The exhibition was a testament to the power of design to inspire and bring people together. It also marked the beginning of a new chapter in the history of government architecture in Westminster, as the winning design would soon become a reality and shape the skyline of the area for generations to come.
