Preferred term

Sir Christopher Wren  

Definition

  • Although his 1666 plan for London after the Great Fire is famous, Sir Christopher Wren's (1632–1723) place in history is first as a scientist, and then, most prominently, as an architect. In both capacities, however, Wren did contribute significantly to the shaping of the early modern city. [Source: Encyclopedia of Urban Studies; Wren, Sir Christopher]
