Architecture History
Architecture History 1660-1860 Mary McLeod The objective of the two semester sequence Architecture History I, II is to provide students with a basic critical understanding of major developments in European (and to a lesser extent, American) architectural history during what is frequently considered the modern period, from the late seventeenth century to the post-World War II era. The course emphasizes moments of significant change in architecture, whether they be theoretical, economic, technological, or institutional in nature. Each lecture usually focuses on a theme, such as positive versus arbitrary beauty, enlightenment urban planning, historicism, structural rationalism, social utopianism, etc. LISTED UNDER: Architecture History Courses

    Since its origin in 1934, the Frederick R. Weisman Art Museum has been a teaching museum for the University of Minnesota. Today, education remains central to the museum’s mission to make the arts accessible – intellectually, emotionally, and physically – to the University and public communities. Major milestones in the museum’s history include significant contributions from Frederick R. Weisman and Frank O. Gehry. Frederick R. Weisman, a Minneapolis native, entrepreneur, and noted philanthropist, provided generous financial gifts and other support to the museum. Internationally acclaimed architect Frank O. Gehry designed the museum’s glimmering residence along the Mississippi River. Home to the museum since 1993, this important architectural achievement has become a landmark for the University of Minnesota and the Twin Cities. Commentary
    “Like a Duchamp painting made real, the design…exudes energy and dynamism as it descends the bluffs of the Minneapolis campus overlooking the Mississippi River. The museum’s undulating forms forcefully mark the symbolic crossroads of the University’s main urban campus.”

About Peel Heritage Trust Peel Heritage Trust was formed in September 1989 by Malcolm Kelly, then chair of Peel Town Commissioners
The main current project for the Trust is the display (near to the harbour bridge) to pay respect to the Isle of Man railway, which served Peel from 1873 until 1968. The Trust has organised over 150 events relating to the social, economic and architectural history of Peel and the Isle of Man.
We currently host around a dozen events each year comprising outdoor visits and walks in the summer, and a series of lectures in the winter. The 'Secret Gardens of Peel' are opened to the public every couple of years, bringing hundreds of visitors to the town. The Trust is managed by a Committee of 6 elected members and representatives from Peel Town Commissioners, the MHK for Peel and a number of co-opted members.

Relationship Between Architecture and Art
Ever since Antiquity, architecture - the art of designing and constructing buildings - has always been closely intertwined with the history of art , for at least three reasons. First, many public works (especially religious buildings) were designed with aesthetics in mind, as well as functionality. They were built to inspire as well as serve a public function. As a result, they involved the services of a wide range of 'artists' and decorative craftsmen as well as labourers. Second, in many of these buildings, the exteriors and interiors acted as showcases for fine art painting (eg. Sistine Chapel), frieze and relief sculpture (eg. The Parthenon, European Gothic cathedrals)

Timeline
The period termed "art deco" manifested itself roughly between the two world wars, or 1920 to 1939. Many actually stretch this period back to 1900 and even as far as the late 1950's, but work of this time is generally considered to be more of an influence to the Art Deco style, or having been influenced by the style. As with many other art movements, even work of today is still being influenced by the past.
This period of design and style did not just affect architecture, but all of the fine and applied arts as well. Furniture, sculpture, clothing, jewelry and graphic design were all influenced by the Art Deco style.
Common themes
So what distinguishes this style from all of the rest? Basically it was a "modernization" of many artistic styles and themes from the past. You can easily detect in many examples of Art Deco the influence of Far and Middle Eastern design, Greek and Roman themes, and even Egyptian and Mayan influence. Modern elements included echoing machine and automobile patterns and shapes such as stylized gears and wheels, or natural elements such as sunbursts and flowers.

John Sell Cotman, 'Interior of Crosby Hall [Bishopsgate]', 1831. Museum no. P.19-1927 (click image for larger version) Architectural topography continued to be a popular subject for watercolour artists. But the taste for romantic historical works encouraged from 1814 by the historical novels of Sir Walter Scott, led many artists to take a new approach to views of historic houses. The writer, Thomas Carlyle noted that Scott's historical novels, 'have taught all men this truth ... that the bygone ages of the world were actually filled with living men, not by protocols, state papers, controversies and abstractions of men'. A number of notable artists, including Joseph Nash, worked in this spirit, peopling their views of historic houses with imagined figures from the past. 'Speke Hall, Lancashire' and 'The Gallery, Knole House' are typical of these watercolours of architecture animated by the artists imagination. Joseph Nash was the pupil of the architectural draughtsman Augustus Pugin who took him to Paris to make drawings for his Paris and its Environs, published in 1830. Nash's most notable series of watercolours were published as 'Mansions of England in the Old Time'. It is unsurprising that Nash not only worked as an architectural draughtsman but like Sir John Gilbert painted subjects taken from Shakespeare, Scott, and Cervantes. John Sell Cotman's watercolour of the 'Interior of Crosby Hall' is less literal in its evocation of the past. The late medieval merchant's house, Crosby Hall, was located on Bishopsgate Street in London. Its rich historical associations doubtless appealed to Cotman's romantic sense of the past. It was also a subject redolent of melancholy and neglect, for when Cotman saw it, the hall 'though one of the most elegant specimens of ancient domestic architecture in England; the residence of princes, and the theatre of great and interesting transactions [was] … converted into a common warehouse'. In 1831 it was 'greatly mutilated, and obscured by bales of goods', leaving the highly ornamented timber-work of the roof as the single dominant visible feature. Unlike Nash, Cotman has not peopled this shell of a building with characters from an imaginative past, but lets the building itself speak for its past. The pair of scales on the tabletop and the goods covered in cloth are poignant signs of the mercantile use of the Hall that Cotman witnessed.
