TUESDAY 5 MARCH 2019
2000 YEARS OF EUROPEAN ARCHITECTURE
- AN ENGINEERS' PERSPESPECTIVE
with John Sherlock
A wonderful day covering architecture of the classical period, medieval period and then Renaissance and Revival
The day will be in three sessions:
Session 1: Classical Period: Ancient Greek and Roman domination resulting in the five orders of architecture.
Session 2: Medieval Period: Byzantine style gives way to truly pan - European "Romanesque'. Then Western European builders discovered the pointed arch and the Gothic style was established.
Session 3: Renaissance and Revival: Return of classical Paladin, Baroque and Rococo. Upheaval of 17/18C and Industrial revolution bought newer styles.
