Victorian Architecture

Category: Architecture
Title: Victorian Architecture
Listing URL: http://www.victorianweb.org/art/architecture/archov.html
Description: "Architecture is two things: it is service and art. Hence the tension between structure and appearance, function and form. Hence too the discord built into that eternal triangle: commodity, firmness and delight. Therein -- at all times -- lies the architect's dilemma. But during the nineteenth century that dilemma was compounded first by changing demands , secondly by advancing technology, and thirdly by the whose phenomenon of historicism: the multiplication of stylistic choice. The result was a crisis in confidence. In religion, literature and philosophy the mid-Victorian period was an age of doubt. So too with architecture: even the greatest Victorian architecture was shot through with uncertainty. That uncertainty was the dilemma of style."
