    On Top of the World, 1830 to 1914 Transcript Date: Wednesday, 7 March 2012 - 6:00PM Location: Museum of London 7 March 2012 On Top of the World 1830 - 1914 Professor Simon Thurley Tonight we turn to the nineteenth century. What a vast subject, what a broad canvass, how to make sense of an age when so much was built and so much architectural diversity created. Well, somehow I will have to, and that’s why, of course, I’m standing here. However Gresham College have made my job quite a lot easier as, since my last lecture, I have been invited to continue my visiting professorship for another year. So this allows me a bit of headroom. Despite its advertised title I have decided to make tonight’s lecture, which deals with the period 1830 to 1914, part one of two. In October I will deliver 1830 to 1914 part II which will deal with Victorian cities and their infrastructure. Tonight I’m going to address the issue of architectural style in Victorian England. The complexity of explaining and understanding English architecture after 1760 derives essentially from three things. These are not in any order or causal juxtaposition: the first is, changing demands - new types of building for new types of activity: railway stations, post offices, law courts, factories, warehouses, pumping stations for example. The second is rapidly developing technology in materials and techniques: iron, steel, glass, terracotta etc. The third is historicism, the fact that there were many styles to choose from, everything from Egyptian and Hindu to Ottoman and Elizabethan.

A few unique styles of architecture have emerged in Toronto, such as the bay and gable style house and the Annex style house.

  • Disappearing Walls: Architecture and Literature in Victorian Britain by Benjamin Zenas Cannon a Dissertation Submitted in Partia
    Disappearing Walls: Architecture and Literature in Victorian Britain By Benjamin Zenas Cannon A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in Charge: Professor Ian Duncan, Chair Professor Kent Puckett Professor Andrew Shanken Spring 2014 Disappearing Walls: Literature and Architecture in Victorian Britain © 2014 By Benjamin Zenas Cannon Abstract Disappearing Walls: Architecture and Literature in Victorian Britain By Benjamin Zenas Cannon Doctor of Philosophy in English University of California, Berkeley Prof. Ian Duncan, Chair From Discipline and Punish and The Madwoman in the Attic to recent work on urbanism, display, and material culture, criticism has regularly cast nineteenth-century architecture not as a set of buildings but as an ideological metastructure. Seen primarily in terms of prisons, museums, and the newly gendered private home, this “grid of intelligibility” polices the boundaries not only of physical interaction but also of cultural values and modes of knowing. As my project argues, however, architecture in fact offered nineteenth-century theorists unique opportunities to broaden radically the parameters of aesthetic agency. A building is generally not built by a single person; it is almost always a corporate effort. At the same time, a building will often exist for long enough that it will decay or be repurposed. Long before literature asked “what is an author?” Victorian architecture theory asked: “who can be said to have made this?” Figures like John Ruskin, Owen Jones, and James Fergusson radicalize this question into what I call a redistribution of intention, an ethically charged recognition of the value of other makers.

  • ARCHITECTURE, POWER, and POVERTY Emergence of the Union
    ARCHITECTURE, POWER, AND POVERTY Emergence of the Union Workhouse Apparatus in the Early Nineteenth-Century England A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts by Gökhan Kodalak January 2015 2015, Gökhan Kodalak ABSTRACT This essay is about the interaction of architecture, power, and poverty. It is about the formative process of the union workhouse apparatus in the early nineteenth-century England, which is defined as a tripartite combination of institutional, architectural, and everyday mechanisms consisting of: legislators, official Poor Law discourse, and administrative networks; architects, workhouse buildings, and their reception in professional journals and popular media; and paupers, their everyday interactions, and ways of self-expression such as workhouse ward graffiti. A cross-scalar research is utilized throughout the essay to explore how the union workhouse apparatus came to be, how it disseminated in such a dramatic speed throughout the entire nation, how it shaped the treatment of pauperism as an experiment for the modern body-politic through the peculiar machinery of architecture, and how it functioned in local instances following the case study of Andover union workhouse. BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH Gökhan Kodalak is a PhD candidate in the program of History of Architecture and Urbanism at Cornell University. He received his bachelor’s degree in architectural design in 2007, and his master’s degree in architectural theory and history in 2011, both from Yıldız Technical University, Istanbul. He is a co-founding partner of ABOUTBLANK, an inter-disciplinary architecture office located in Istanbul, and has designed a number of award-winning architectural and urban design projects in national and international platforms.

  • Images of New England: Documenting the Built Environment
    474 American Archivist / Vol. 50 / Fall 1987 Downloaded from http://meridian.allenpress.com/american-archivist/article-pdf/50/4/474/2747585/aarc_50_4_k61r617u31jx5704.pdf by guest on 23 September 2021 Images of New England: Documenting the Built Environment NANCY CARLSON SCHROCK Abstract: The 1980s find the New England states in a period of economic expansion and development that has an impact upon its landscape and built environment. Older structures are being renovated or destroyed, while extensive new building is simultaneously under way. Documenting these changes involves identifying and preserving the records of build- ings that are disappearing as well as those of new construction. The author reviews briefly the history of architecture in New England, focusing on its relationship to the evolution of types of documentation in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries: original design records, publications and stock plans, and visual records of completed buildings and their changes over time. The differing approaches of the six states to preserving these records are profiled, and their efforts linked with the growth of an active historic preservation movement. Aspects of the built environment remain less well documented: current development, commercial architecture, landscape design, builders' records, and owner-initiated projects. The author concludes by proposing regional efforts to deal with these issues, capitalizing upon the expertise and experience of the curators, archivists, and conservators of New England's architectural collections. About the author: Nancy Carlson Schrock is self-employed as a book conservator and consultant on library preservation in Winchester, Massachusetts. During 1979-82, she served as project di- rector for NHPRC- and NEH-sponsored surveys of architectural records, which culminated in publication of Mass COPAR's Architectural Records in Boston.

  • Brooks 1 Carson Brooks Professor Spanagel ISP Architectural History
    Brooks 1 Carson Brooks Professor Spanagel ISP Architectural History 20 June 2018 Evolution of Victorian Architecture Intro: The nineteenth century in London is when industrialization occurred, thus, the way the city developed changed greatly. The changes came from what materials became available, the factories being built, and the demand for housing. The style of architecture during the nineteenth century is known as Victorian. Due to such a large number of migrants to London during the nineteenth century, the city is left with little choice but to expand rapidly, leading to the creation of flats instead of full houses. Population Rise and Influence: During the nineteenth century, London grew and expanded rapidly. Within a ten-year time period more than 330,000 migrants entered the capital, “representing a staggering 17 percent of the total population” (Porter 2001, 205). At the start of the nineteenth century London’s population was approximately one million, by the end of the century the population grew to four and a half million (Porter 205). London had limited choices of how to respond to the increasing population so the city began expanding. Once London began to expand, suburbs developed that separated social classes. During the Victorian era, houses are built for middle class people but within the century, the design of housing is altered. The middle class, otherwise known as the working class, became the target market. Over-crowding and “high market value of land in central London with the low market value of many forms of labor” causes housing issues Brooks 2 in London (Hennock 1979).

Unfortunately, we know little of the architects and builders who so skilfully created the early buildings, save perhaps for the parish church of St. Mary’s where John Wastell of Bury St. Edmunds, who died circa 1515, was master mason. The Church is interesting as being the work of one architect - carrying out an almost total rebuild - almost all other Essex churches, including Thaxted, evolved with different master masons Saffron Walden Buildings & Architects – Saffron Walden Historical Journal No 5 (2003) employed. Wastell it was who built the great fan vault of King’s College Chapel and who worked on Ely and Canterbury Cathedrals, Great St. Mary’s Church, Cambridge, amongst others. Much later Robert William Furze Brettingham (1750-1820) [grandson of Matthew Brettingham (1699-1769) who designed Shortgrove bridge] planned the great restoration of the parish church of 1790.

  • Euclid Avenue Historic District
    EUCLID AVENUE HISTORIC DISTRICT AERIAL & MAP OF The Euclid Avenue Historic District contains the portion of the Avenue which is north of G and south of the I-10. All properties which front Euclid Avenue in this portion have been included within the Historic District boundaries. HISTORY Euclid Avenue was designed and laid out in 1882 by EUCLID AVENUE MEDIAN IS LISTED ON THE George & William Chaffey to be the backbone and NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES centerpiece for the “Model Irrigation Colony”. The brothers designed the avenue to be a thing of functionality and lasting beauty. Euclid Avenue had provisions for an electric railway, water rights for each landowner, electric lights, and long distance telephone lines, and a local educational institution. All of these components were integral to the growth and development that occurred along the avenue. The avenue was designed to run from San Antonio Heights at the base of the San Gabriel Mountains at the north end of the colony to the southern edge of the colony at the Southern Pacific Railroad tracks. Construction of the avenue began that same year under the Chaffey brother’s direct supervision and, by 1884, four miles of the avenue had been graded. The median was landscaped with Palm trees and faster growing Pepper trees. The curbs and streets were made of granite cobblestone. The cobblestone streets have been paved over with asphalt several times over the years and are no longer visible. In 1886, the Chaffey’s sold their interest in Ontario to Charles Frankish who then formed the Ontario Land and Improvement Company.

  • 'Philadelphia's ^Victorian ^Architecture
    'Philadelphia's ^Victorian ^Architecture 1860-1890 E ARE in the habit of thinking of American architecture of the period just after the Civil War as being ugly—one Wauthor relates it to "the lowest period of taste." And of the various parts of our country, Philadelphia had a particularly bad reputation with the art critics. The ^Architectural T{ecord—a journal which first appeared in 1891 with the avowed mission of improving American architecture—had this to say in its prolegomena: In no country, and at no other time, has mere existence been so full, so abun- dantly provided for as in this country at the present moment. On the other hand, is there a civilization on the face of the earth as uninteresting as ours, as completely material, as lacking in dignity and distinction, as vulgar, commonplace and shabby ? Our self-complaisance is fat and well-fed .... There is no deficiency of intelli- gence among our people. It is right feeling that is lacking. It is to Art we must turn—only in that direction does hope for us lie. Art is 'the fruitful voice of God'; and architecture is the most practical of the arts. One of the Record's methods for improving this art was to publish biting criticisms of what it called "Architectural Aberrations"; in each number a building was pilloried. Some of these were Philadel- phia structures. But even when speaking of buildings in other places, our city was used as the absolute zero in discussions of taste. It is needless to add that the critic preferred the safety of anonymity.
