Full title :European architecture 1750-1890 / Barry Bergdoll.

Summary

"This book explores the innovative ways in which architects from Soufflot and Adam to Viollet-le-Duc and Semper responded to the new challenges of a rapidly changing modern world. A wide range of buildings were created to house railway stations, prisons, department stores, and museums; the entirely new products of the industrial, political and economic revolutions sweeping Europe." "Bergdoll argues that this period of constantly changing architecture, encompassing Neoclassicism and the Gothic Revival, constitutes one of the great experimental epochs in European architectural history. Famous cities and buildings such as the Houses of Parliament, the Eiffel Tower, and the Ringstrasse in Vienna are all covered in this indispensable guide to the exciting architectural developments of this period."--Jacket.
