London Calling
Luke arrived in London in March 1927 to take up his place at the Architectural Association (AA). The British had been instrumental in championing Chinese culture during the 18th century, following the first significant and prolonged contact by traders who brought back long inventories and tall tales from this mysterious and far‐flung land. However, deteriorating relations between China and Britain in the 19th century and their rapid disintegration leading up to the First Opium War accompanied a dwindling admiration for Chinese aesthetics. China's cultural journey from adulation to vilification in the eyes of the British public might have been long and tortuous, but Luke's three years in London from 1927 coincided with an important turnaround, the fruits of which he would not taste during his time in the capital, though he would have noted them from his new home in Shanghai. Luke relished the cultural opportunities that London offered.
