A propos de cet article

No ownership inscription. 322pp, 525 Colour & b/w Photographs / Illustrations. Clean and tight. For a long time, interest in the architecture of the 19th century was restricted to those features which foreshadowed the architecture of today and ignored the fulfilment of the tastes of its time. This new interpretation of that extraordinarily prolific period of building redefines the whole of i9th century European architecture from the point of view of the period, as well as relating it to the return of historical influences and ornament perceptible in the recent currents of postmodern architecture. just as the beginning of the industrial revolution provoked a new appreciation of the relative innocence of the medieval world, the cultural and social upheavals of the last few decades have made us look with fresh awareness and a measure of nostalgia at the architecture of the i9th century. To understand this architecture we must rediscover the tendency for quotation and evocation, for historical reminiscence and emotional associations which constituted the charm to its contemporaries. The Ecole des Beaux-Arts and the tradition of the grand prix are analyzed, as well as the development of the great exhibition halls and railway stations, the private house and Gamier's Paris Opera. The eclecticism of the Second Empire and the Neo-Gothic of the Victorian period are scrutinized without prejudice from a 19th century point of view. The quantity of new building provoked totally new methods of commissioning architecture. The influence of the developer and private investor in urban planning led to a standardization and regulation of building types of extraordinary proportions. The individual building became less important than the series to which it belonged. Claude Mignot's book is conceived as a sequence which closely follows the types, problems and history of buildings. Neo-Gothic, Neo-Classicism, Romanticism, Eclecticism and other styles are examined via the great proliferation of public and private building structures, including cathedrals, department stores, shopping arcades, middle-class villas, schools and bridges. The author's unusual approach to this material is engaging and provocative. It includes over 500 building examples from England, France, Germany, Italy, Austria, Belgium, Spain, Russia, Denmark, etc. Many of the illustrations appear here in book form for the first time.
