A multitude of architectural styles appeared in Western architecture and interior design during Queen Victoria’s 63 years on the throne, yet scholars and practitioners often lump all of them together into one category, “Victorian.” By understanding more specific categories, scholars and professionals will be better able to make sense of the complexities of nineteenth-century design and the cultural currents that shaped it.
AIA Objectives: -Identify significant architectural styles during the reign of Queen Victoria. -A familiarity with some of the correlating characteristics of Victorian interior design. -Recognize a few of the major thinkers who influenced Victorian style. -A general understanding of the cultural discourses of modern progress and the antimodern discourses of nostalgia.
