Inigo Jones's modern reputation rests on a handful of buildings surviving from late in his career and his designs for masques at court. Recently more attention has focused on his earlier architectural work. Even so, his work for the Stuart kings on the Parliament House has received scant attention. Study of this, perhaps more routine, work demonstrates Jones's ability to respond constructively to problems arising from the use of medieval buildings for purposes other than those originally intended, the imagination of his response, the economy of his proposals, and his innovation. The responses of his immediate predecessors and his successor to the same problems are also considered.
