With a focus on the experience of the ordinary building user - rather than simply on the intentions of the designer - the book shows that new and important insights can be brought to our understanding of Victorian architecture. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe chapters present a range of ideas and new research - some examining individual building case studies (from grand hotels and clubhouses in New York to the parliament buildings of Westminster), and others exploring conceptual questions about the nature of architectural experience, whether sensory or otherwise. Yet they share the premise that the idea of the 'experience of architecture' took on a new and particular significance with the rise of industrial modernity, and they examine what contemporary people - both architects and non-architects - understood by this idea. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe insights in this volume extend beyond the study of Victorian architecture. Together they suggest how 'experience' might be used as a framework to produce a more convincingly historical account of the artefacts of architectural history.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEdward Gillin\u003c\/b\u003e is an Associate Research Fellow at the History Faculty, University of Oxford. \u003cb\u003eH. \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eHoratio \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e Joyce\u003c\/b\u003e is a doctoral student in history at the University of Oxford, and a PhD Scholar of the Society of Architectural Historians of Great Britain (SAHGB).\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 264\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.56 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 30, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47457167212797,"sku":"9781350159709","price":91.51,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/3414\/0157\/files\/Y0FwK2g2dlVEZE82WFRZVHhqQVM2dz09.webp?v=1777234543","url":"https:\/\/booktolia.com\/products\/experiencing-architecture-in-the-nineteenth-century-buildings-and-society-in-the-modern-age-paperback","provider":"booktolia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
