James Adam

(1732-1794) visited Naples in the early 1760s and his later interior designs were influenced by Pompeii. He joined the family business and was jointly responsible with his elder brother Robert for many buildings that redefined Classicism, including Portland Place (1776), London, for which he designed the facades. He was also the architect of the Glasgow Infirmary (1792) and the Tron Kirk, Glasgow (1794). He succeeded Robert as royal architect in 1769.
