ARCHITECTURAL

ADVANCEMENTS
AFTER INDUSTIAL
REVOLUTION
 INTRODUCTION:
• The Industrial Revolution was a
particularly important period in
human history, with more
changes in the manner in
which goods were produced
occurring between 1750 and
1850 than in all of human
history prior to that time.
• In terms of its social impact,
the main significance of the
Industrial Revolution lay in its
transformation of the nature
and effects of work on laborers
throughout Britain and later in
Europe.
 ARCHITECTURE-INDUSTRIAL
REVOLUTION
• The impact of architecture on the industrial
revolution is as old as time. For the purpose of this
discussion we will begin with the architecture of
the ancient world. In pre-industrial times those
who constructed building also lived in them and
they were forced to use whatever material was
available and they also had to make their own
tools. The idea of using cement to build structures
dates back to the Roman Empire but waterproof
cement was not created until the 1800's during the
industrial revolution, this is just one impact that
early architecture had on the industrial revolution.

ARCHITECTURAL ADVANCEMENTS:
• 1779, the first ion cast bridge, was
erected across the Severn River in
Coal brook dale, England

•1824, the Portland cement, a fire

resistant cement, and the
advanced forms of ion or steel bars
led to the development of
reinforced concrete in the 19th
century.

•1837 Euston station in London

was built by Philip Hardwick
(demolished 1871, rebuilt 1963).
• Between 1850 and 1870, the
use of cast ion emerged for
facade treatment, and indoor
decorations on Shoo district
of New York City, Milan
Gallery, Crystal Palace,
London.

1889, the Eiffel Tower,

was built for the World
Fair in Paris, the
leading examples of the
use of ion lattice
structures for
architectural task.
• .Their buildings lacked imagination
and style, But their style relied on
function alone so it was function
rather than style.
• The Crystal Palace became the basis
for modern architecture, its'
transparency symbolized a sense of-
No Boundaries.
• new materials gave architects a
broader chance related to style...
• At the turn of the century, engineers
constructed bridges, canals, railways,
factories...these structures and
artifacts provided knowledge and
experience that adapted to
architecture.
 CRYSTAL PALACE
• The Crystal Palace was a
cast-iron and glass building
originally erected in Hyde Park,
London, England, to house the
Great Exhibition of 1851. More
than 14,000 exhibitors from
around the world gathered in the
Palace's 990,000 square feet
(92,000 m2) of exhibition space
to display examples of the latest
technology developed in the
Industrial Revolution. Designed
by Joseph Paxton, the Great
Exhibition building was
1,851 feet (564 m) long, with an
interior height of 128 feet (39 m)
• The huge, modular
wood,[3] glass and iron
structure at the top of
Sydenham Hill was
originally erected in
Hyde Park in London
to house The Great
Exhibition of 1851,
embodying the
products of many
countries throughout
the world.[
 EFILE TOWER
• The Eiffel Tower (French:
La Tour Eiffel, [tuʁ ɛfɛl],
nickname La dame de fer,
the iron lady) is an 1889 iron
lattice tower located on the
Champ de Mars in Paris that
has become both a global
icon of France and one of the
most recognizable structures
in the world. The
tallest building in Paris,
• The structure was built
between 1887 and 1889 as
the entrance arch for the
Exposition Universally, a
World's Fair marking the
centennial celebration of the
French Revolution. Three
hundred workers joined
together 18,038 pieces of
puddle iron (a very pure form
of structural iron), using two
and a half million rivets, in a
structural design by Maurice
Koehler. Eiffel was assisted in
the design by engineers Emile
Doughier and Maurice Koehler
and architect Stephen
Silvestre.
