Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Building News and Architectural Review, 1861, Vol. 7: A Weekly Illustrated Record of the Progress of Architecture, Sculpture, Painting, Engineering, Metropolitan Improvements, Sanitary Reform, &C., &C., &C It is, indeed, high time that this enlightened purism, should inter fere to put a period to the arbitrary restorations that sometimes change the action of a figure, place a common-place head on magnificent shoulders, or remove that charming surface that one could style the skin of the marble. It is high time that it should destroy those modern accessories added by the caprice of an ignorant sculptor, and which often have been a source of serious errors to those antiquaries whose remoteness compelled them to make use of incorrect engravings.

He is also a. Chief builder as being director of Others, but that: this is the secondary sense of the word, the first named being the primary meaning, is significantly shown by the fact; that no analagous secondary sense attaches to the cognate term architecture.

Download or read book The Battle of the Styles written by Bernard Porter and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2011-03-17 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This title explores the controversy surrounding the design of the new Foreign Office in London during Britain's Imperial heyday. In 1855 it was decided to build a new block of government offices in London, starting with the Foreign and War Offices. The government offices competition came at what was probably - looking back on it - the zenith of Britain's confidence as a nation and international power. One would expect the mid-Victorians to have felt, firstly, pride in their current national situation; and secondly, the urge to commemorate this in the most important national building to be projected in twenty years. Porter uses the debates surrounding the building of these important new monuments to interrogate the very fabric of British society, culture and nation building. The discussion on so many issues - religion, nationality, empire, history, modernism, truth, morality, gender - quite apart from considerations of 'pure' aesthetics, offers an unusual, perhaps even unique, insight into the relationship between these matters and the 'culture' of the time.

Download or read book Empire Building written by Mark Crinson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-11 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The colonial architecture of the nineteenth century has much to tell us of the history of colonialism and cultural exchange. Yet, these buildings can be read in many ways. Do they stand as witnesses to the rapacity and self-delusion of empire? Are they monuments to a world of lost glory and forgotten convictions? Do they reveal battles won by indigenous cultures and styles? Or do they simply represent an architectural style made absurdly incongruous in relocation? Empire Building is a study of how and why Western architecture was exported to the Middle East and how Islamic and Byzantine architectural ideas and styles impacted on the West. The book explores how far racial theory and political and religious agendas guided British architects (and how such ideas were resisted when applied), and how Eastern ideas came to influence the West, through writers such as Ruskin and buildings such as the Crystal Palace. Beautifully written and lavishly illustrated, Empire Building takes the reader on an extraordinary postcolonial journey, backwards and forwards, into the heart and to the edge of empire.
