Art movements and architectural styles

Hello all, 

So, please find below a list of art movements and architectural styles (since 1855 when the royal docks were first opened) to use as an inspiration for our conceptual model. 

Please select two or three ideas to build as a model 'square' . Think about the movement/style in general or an artist/architect connected with Britain to inspire you. Do some research about them online or in books and then build your model in their style. 

It is a concept model so your model square can be abstract and not really convey real buildings or things or places.

VERY IMPORTANT! Leave a comment on this blog post to say which ones you are doing so we don't double up

Reminder of model base size: 21cm x 21cm. 

Max model height : 21cm

Model squares can be as full or empty, high or low as you wish. Try and be creative and use interesting, diverse materials and techniques to make your squares.

Please try and do three model squares if you can and bring them on Wednesday to the normal group work space (underneath the stairs/underneath reception) at 12:30 so we can assemble our model as a group.

ARCHITECTURE

Victorian Architecture 
1840 to 1900 AD Industrialization brought many innovations in architecture. Victorian styles include Gothic Revival, Italianate, Stick, Eastlake, Queen Anne, Romanesque and Second Empire.

Arts and Crafts Movement in Architecture 
1860 to 1900 AD Arts and Crafts was a late 19th-century backlash against the forces of industrialization. The Arts and Crafts movement revived an interest in handicrafts and sought a spiritual connection with the surrounding environment, both natural and manmade. The Craftsman Bungalow evolved from the Arts and Crafts movement.

Art Nouveau Architecture 
1890 to 1914 AD Known as the New Style, Art Nouveau was first expressed in fabrics and graphic design. The style spread to architecture and furniture in the 1890s. Art Nouveau buildings often have asymmetrical shapes, arches and decorative surfaces with curved, plant-like designs.

Beaux Arts Architecture 
1895 to 1925 AD Also known as Beaux Arts Classicism, Academic Classicism, or Classical Revival, Beaux Arts architecture is characterized by order, symmetry, formal design, grandiosity, and elaborate ornamentation.

Neo-Gothic Architecture 
1905 to 1930 AD In the early twentieth century, medieval Gothic ideas were applied to modern skyscrapers.

Art Deco Architecture 
1925 to 1937 AD Zigzag patterns and vertical lines create dramatic effect on jazz-age, Art Deco buildings.

20th Century Trends in Architecture 
1900 to Present. The century has seen dramatic changes and astonishing diversity. Twentieth century trends include Art Moderne and the Bauhaus school coined by Walter Gropius, Deconstructivism, Formalism, Modernism, Structuralism, and Postmodernism.
