This book was released on 2016-11-10 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Development and Character of Gothic Architecture It has been necessary to devote a considerable portion of the book to detailed descriptions of structural forms and adjustments. These may prove tedious to the unprofessional reader but I have endeavoured to make them as brief as was consistent with thoroughness, and to express myself, as far as possible, in terms that may be generally understood. The illustrations to the book have been reproduced either on wood or by mechanical process from drawings, the most of which were made on the spot, or from photographs, by myself. For some of the illustrations of sculpture the drawings have been made from photographs either by my daughter, or by myself; and several of the most elaborate illustrations of entire buildings have been drawn from photographs for the engraver by Mr. H. W. Brewer of London, the well-known architectural draughtsman. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Guide to Gothic Architecture Architecture is progressive, and must keep pace with the development of the wants, faculties, and sentiments of mankind. The Decorative Arts arise from, and Should properly be attendant upon archi tecture. Antiquarianism and ecclesiology are among the phases of architectural study. The former is a mere branch of secular learning; the latter devotes its energies to the reverent serving and adorning of churches in the best and fittest manner possible. Decoration embraces all the arts of design. It is the 0 ice of architecture to illustrate the forces by which construction is maintained; and as a master of fine arts it presses into its service all others which can aid towards that, its one great central purpose. These forces are as a stream of life in the dull blocks through which they flow. 'architecture gives form and feature to them as things of vitality which we can then fix upon and delight in and thus a building clothed in the elements of its own life rises into being, a creature of living art, a thing of beauty. With the theory of architecture thus understood, the ancillary arts of sculpture, wall painting, stained glass, tapestry and so forth cluster around it with all their music of form and colours. It is thus that the arts of design step in. Their business is to interpret all that, to give it emphasis, to spread a sense of ease, happiness, and completeness everywhere. Then comes colour to add riches and plenty to what the other arts have begun, and to perfect those evidences of life and thought and movement which they draw out.

Download or read book Gothic Revival Architecture written by Trevor Yorke and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2017-06-29 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Houses of Parliament to the Midland Hotel at St Pancras and Strawberry Hill House, Gothic Revival buildings are some of the most distinctive structures found in Britain. Far from a copy of medieval buildings, it was a style full of colour and invention, in which its exponents created a daring new approach to design. Throwing out the old Classical rule book, Gothic Revival architects like Pugin and George Gilbert Scott designed buildings which were asymmetrical in form and visually expressive of their function. The movement went beyond just bricks and mortar and had a strong moral code, the influence of which was still felt into the 20th century. In this illustrated book, Trevor Yorke tells the story of the Gothic Revival from its origins in the whimsical fancies of the Georgian Period through to its High Victorian climax.
