  Modern Architecture In England
Modern architecture covers the period included in the reigns of William IV (A.D. 1830-37), Victoria (A.D. 1837-1901), Edward VII (A.D. 1901-10), and of our present King, George V. The wonderful nineteenth century surpassed all its predecessors in the variety of its discoveries and in the extent of their application to the needs of daily life.
The architecture of this period, as might be expected, provides as fascinating a study as do any other developments of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, but is, moreover, so near to us in time as to make it difficult to form a detached judgment of its character.
In previous periods of architecture we have shown the varying and progressive results which arose under the operation of the geographical, geological, climatic, religious, social, and historical influences, but from the beginning of the nineteenth century the operation of these influences becomes modified.

Architecture and Induction: Whewell and Ruskin on Gothic
Becher (4-8) briefly discusses the scientific nature of Whewell's architectural writings and their relationship to his views on other subjects; Schaffer (215-17) sketches the religious and political interests that these architectural writings were meant to serve.
In the famous 1831 letter to Jones in which Whewell proclaims his inability to "see his way" to a general view of the applicability of induction to subjects other than natural philosophy, Whewell is perhaps most optimistic, after Jones's work in political economy, about "antiquities, especially architecture, of which something may be made" (Todhunter, 2:116).

His architectural works were an integral part of the neoclassical movement, but their adaptation to the convenience, ideals, and requirements of the new nation made them uniquely Jeffersonian.
His architecture reflected his high regard for the classical civilizations of Rome and Greece and was part of the classical trend that swept through Europe in the eighteenth century.
As embodied in Jefferson's architecture, these ideals also were depicted by historian Howard Adams: As the house of the chief architect of the New Republic, Monticello continues to speak openly of those goals Jefferson held for himself, his family, his government, and his fellow countrymen.

In the official lists in sections 6.2 - 6.10, an asterisk (*) next to a protocol denotes that it is new to this document or has been moved from one protocol level to another, or differs from the previous edition of this document.
While they may be proposed as a service protocol at a later stage, and thus become proposed standard, draft standard, and then standard protocols, the designation of a protocol as experimental may sometimes be meant to suggest that the protocol, although perhaps mature, is not intended for operational use.
Sometimes one protocol is replaced by another and thus becomes historic, or it may happen that a protocol on the standards track is in a sense overtaken by another protocol (or other events) and becomes historic (state 5).

 The Shaker Round Barn
Frank Lloyd Wright wrote that "the true basis for any serious study of the art of architecture still lies in those indigenous, more humble buildings everywhere that are to architecture what folklore is to literature or folksong to music.
Although, in theory, uniformity was "comely," in practice the Shaker artisan was left relatively free to fabricate machines, buildings or furniture which he felt would best express a principle, or fit a need.
The use of native materials--stone, brick, and wood--combined with native skills produced an anonymous, vernacular architecture.

These were the 'development' years of early Gothic architecture, it was essential that Paris should contain an impressive cathedral featuring innovations to surpass such smaller towns as Sens and Noyon.
Through the eyes of this young, impassioned writer, the cathedrals of the middle ages were 'books in stone,' works to be treasured and cared for.
He never dreamed that there were other hedgerows than the stained-glass windows in perpetual bloom; other shade than that of the stone foliage always budding, loaded with birds in the thickets of Saxon capitals; other mountains than the colossal towers of the church; or other oceans than Paris roaring at their feet.'

 Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin Biography / Biography of Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin Biography
Born in London on March 1, 1812, A. Pugin was the son of, and early assistant to, Augustus Charles Pugin, the producer of pattern books of Gothic building, such as Examples of Gothic Architecture (1831).
The theme of contrast between the unity and goodness of the Middle Ages and the pluralism and degeneracy of the industrialized 19th century was common in intellectual circles of the time, but Pugin gave it architectural expression through a series of plates contrasting medieval with modern, classically inspired buildings.
His buildings are discussed in the context of the architecture of his time in Henry-Russell Hitchcock, Early Victorian Architecture in Britain (1954).

 The Genius of Place: Landscape Architecture
However, more than any other form of spatial design, landscape architecture pursues a natur0al aesthetic as it seeks to use organic forms to make outdoor spaces at once pleasing and useful.
Downing and others began arguing that every home should be surrounded by a "green carpet setting" that would properly accent the landscape ornamentation, but they had no idea that the American turf grass savanna would come to cover 25 million acres or 40,000 square miles of the continent--an area slightly less than that of Pennsylvania.
Landscape architecture's quest is to pursue this nebulous ideal; yet it is a lesson that might also instruct each human living in the 1990s.

 Iconomania­­Urbanism, Spectacle and the Saint­Simonians, Spyros Papapetros
The whole architecture of the female temple consists of the building elements of her "dressing": escalators as her shoes, doors as the pleats of her robe, shopping arcades as her skirt, galleries as her belt and the window­rosettes as a brassiere covering her breasts.
Moreover, from what I have presented so far, the architectural "projects" of the Saint Simonians might seem to be a ruinous assemblage of left over constructions, rough pencil sketches and quasi hallucinatory manuscripts that even their own authors seems to have forgotten.
However, it is exactly from such sparse fragments reminiscent of Cuvier's fossils, that nineteenth­century science claimed to be able to reconstruct a prehistoric organism in its gigantic magnitude—if not to bring it back to life, millennia after its disappearance.
