John Nash (architect)
John Nash (18 January 1752 – 13 May 1835) was a British architect responsible for much of the layout of Regency London under the patronage of George IV first as Prince Regent then king. He was also a pioneer in the use of the Picturesque in the design of buildings and their layout. His most famous designs are the Royal Pavilion, Brighton, and Buckingham Palace (though the facade to the mall is not Nash's work).

Famous quotes containing the words john and/or nash:
“I do not wish to see John ever again,—I mean him who is dead,—but that other, whom only he would have wished to see, or to be, of whom he was the imperfect representative. For we are not what we are, nor do we treat or esteem each other for such, but for what we are capable of being.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“If you are really Master of your Fate,
It shouldn’t make any difference to you whether Cleopatra or the Bearded Lady is your mate.”
—Ogden Nash (1902–1971)
