Late Nineteenth-Century Architecture
The violence of revolutions and the transformations of the Industrial Revolution made the clear rationality of neo-classical architecture seem naive. Architects and other artists began to express emotion—as well as reason—in their structures, and this stimulated a new artistic movement called “Romanticism.” One sweeping movement, however, cannot characterize the 19th century. Instead, architects embraced movements as diverse as neo-Gothic and, at the end of the century, “art nouveau.” Engineers also saw the advantages of new uses for cast and wrought iron to change structures from buildings to bridges.
• Sir Joseph Paxton (British architect)
• Henri Labrouste (French architect)
• Louis H. Sullivan (U.S. architect)
• J.A. Roebling (U.S. bridge architect)
- Throughout the nineteenth century, various movements and trends shaped and changed architecture. Cast iron paved the way for new structures. How was this medium used, and what were the benefits?
