About This Book

This comprehensive survey traces architectural developments from the early nineteenth century through the mid twentieth, grouping the material into three chronological sections that examine Romantic classicism and Durand’s rational doctrines; Gothic revival, picturesque tendencies, and the advent of iron-and-glass construction; mid-century eclecticism, national schools, and the rise of commercial and domestic building types; and the emergence of Art Nouveau and modernist movements led by architects from several countries. It analyzes technological innovations, shifting stylistic vocabularies, regional variations, and debates between tradition and modernity, while offering plans, illustrations, and critical commentary on major architects and typologies.

INDEX

Numbers in italics refer to plates. References to the Notes are given only where they indicate matters of special interest or importance: such references are given to the page on which the note occurs, followed by the number of the chapter to which it belongs, and the number of the note. Thus 455(13)[287] indicates the note is on page 455, it is referenced from chapter 13, and is note [287] within the body of this book.

The system followed in towns and cities is to print the name of the building first, followed where applicable by the name of the street in which it is located and by the district or suburb. Thus the White House, Tite Street, Chelsea, will be found in the main London entry under White House, and Saint-Jean-Baptiste, Neuilly, in the main Paris entry under Saint-Jean-Baptiste; each, however, is cross-referenced in the main index, as Chelsea, see London (White House). More remote suburbs generally have separate entries. Country houses are entered under their own names rather than under nearby towns and villages.
