Produktinformationen zu „Function and Fantasy: Iron Architecture in the Long Nineteenth Century (ePub)“
The book is divided into three sections. Firstly, 'Formations' considers the rising tension between the desire to translate traditional architectural motifs into iron and the nascent feeling that iron buildings were themselves creating an entirely new field of aesthetic expression. Secondly, 'Exchanges' charts the commercial and cultural exchanges that took place between British iron foundries and clients in far-flung locations such as Argentina, Jamaica, Nigeria and Australia. Finally, 'Transformations' looks at the place of the aesthetics of iron architecture in the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries, a period in which iron ornament sought to harmonize wide social ambitions while offering the tantalizing possibility that iron architecture as a whole could transform the fundamental meanings of ornament.
Autoren-Porträt
Paul Dobraszczyk is a lecturer in Art History at the University of Manchester and his research covers a wide variety of subjects, including ornament and iron, visual representations of London's Victorian sewers, and the relationship between real and imagined urban ruins. He has published widely on these subjects, including Iron, Ornament and Architecture in Victorian Britain (Ashgate, 2014), London's Sewers (Shire, 2014) and Into the Belly of the Beast: Exploring London's Victorian Sewers (Spire, 2009). His latest book, The Dead City: Urban Ruins and the Spectacle of Decay will be published by IB Tauris in 2017.Peter Sealy is a PhD candidate at Harvard University, where he is a Frank Knox Fellow. His dissertation charts the productive utility of photography's claim to factuality as it explored increasingly spatial qualities in late nineteenth-century architectural publications. An exposeì of this argument will appear in Blackwell's Companion to Nineteenth-Century Architecture. He co-authored (with Martin Bressani) an article on the photographs in Charles Garnier's Le Nouvel Opeìra, published in Art and the Early Photographic Album (CASVA, 2011). He holds architecture degrees from McGill University and the Harvard GSD; previously, he worked at the Canadian Centre for Architecture in Montreìal on exhibitions including Actions (2008) and Journeys (2010).
