A History of the Gothic Revival

Abstract

Charles Locke Eastlake (1833–1906), an interior, furniture and industrial designer, showed talent as an architect and was awarded a Silver Medal in 1854 by the Royal Academy. He is known for influencing the style of later nineteenth-century 'Modern' Gothic furniture with his Hints on Household Taste (1868), but his passion for medieval architecture developed much earlier while he was in Europe during the 1850s. In 1866 he became Secretary to the Royal Institute of British Architects, and it was in 1872 that this work was published. The book is notable for being released at the height of the Gothic Revival movement in the later nineteenth century. It includes detailed comments on the architects, societies, literature and buildings that formed the cornerstones of the Gothic Revival, primarily in Britain, from around 1650 to 1870. A valuable mine of information, it remains a key source on the topic.

Reflections of Ottoman Westernization on Giresun-Piraziz: Facade Design of Tiralizade Mansions

Bu üsluplarda tasarlanan yapıların ise başta padişah olmak üzere, üst düzey yöneticiler, Levanten ve gayrimüslimler himayesinde yabancıyerel gayrimüslim mimarlarca uygulandığı takip edilebilmektedir (Yiğitpaşa ve Uz, 2016: 22-43).…”

Gothic Revival Architecture Before Horace Walpole’s Strawberry Hill

“…But in the days of its lowest degradation, it may be questioned whether it would not have been better that the cause should have remained unexposed than have been sustained by such a champion as Batty Langley. 71 Despite this criticism, Langley's Gothic was, in fact, rather influential, not least because he produced the first Georgian pattern-book to advance designs for architecture relevant to the eighteenth century. His plates included proposals for garden buildings, including pavilions and umbrellos, windows, chimneypieces and fireplaces.…”
