A propos de cet article

Paperback. Victorian Architecture presents a new and refreshing overview of nineteenth- and early twentieth-century architecture in Britain and the wider British world.The Victorian period witnessed the beginnings of what today would be described as the global architectural practice. Architects inhabiting this world, or designing for it, were creating new and hybrid forms of Victorianarchitecture, continuously, in multiple locations. New efficiencies brought by technological advancements such as steam-powered locomotion enabled the Victorian building industry to revolutionise in terms of scale, precision, and variety. As many of the buildings examinedhere reveal, at the foundation of this revolution was a significant transformation in the supply and conversion of energy. Materials used in construction often come from far away and were procured under increasingly mechanised conditions, entailing the consumption of fossil-fuels in huge, unprecedented quantities. Markets for these materials also multiplied during the period, with companies producing and exporting products as diverse as cast-iron, encaustic tiles, and stained glass in largequantities. Even whole buildings were packed and shipped abroad.Victorian Architecture presents a new and refreshing overview of nineteenth- and early twentieth-century architecturein Britain and the wider British world. Thematically structured, it highlights concerns fundamental to how Victorians experienced their world, including urbanism, industry, government, faith, empire, modernity, social order, family, collecting, and consumerism. In emphasising important concepts in building design and culture, it thus connects the understanding of architecture to its wider social, political, and economic contexts. A key feature of the book is the way it situates Britisharchitecture in its extended global geographies, with the Victorian built environment seen as encompassing Britain's colonial expansion. As people and ideas were increasingly mobile during this period, themessuch as speed and movement are brought to the fore. British architects were designing buildings not just in the British Isles, but much farther afield, in lands as far apart as Barbados and Bombay, Newfoundland and New South Wales. Concise and visually attractive, Victorian Architecture is aimed at a student and general-reader audience, as well as providing a useful reference point for professional scholars. A new, concise history of buildings erected all over Britain and its colonial empire during the long nineteenth century. Thematically arranged, the book covers all major typologies, from civic buildings and religious structures, to correctional facilities, museums, and exhibition spaces, including transport and industrial infrastructures. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
