Architecture Set In Motion
1. Bouffrand: Salon de la Princess, hotel de Soubise, Paris, France, begun 1730's Salon de la Princess, is a many sided cylindrical interior room and is part of the Rococo style that incorporates minimal architectural features and light airy decor, that develops into a profession of interior design. Rococo is the revolt against complicated Baroque that decorated the interior of Versailles, in revolt against the palace and after the death of Louis XIV, French women who had city houses in Paris inspired a new lightened airy style of decor and architecture. As seen in the Salon de la Princess, the structure of the room has virtually been covered up by white walls of wood and mirrors, and it only contains hints of the classical orders and conventions, while conveying the modern concept of space free of major structural forms. The predominate feature in the room is the gold plaster decorations that adorn the entire space and within this is seen the main curving arabesque line that flows throughout the style and characterizes it as a free flowing form of design, and makes classical references to the fantasy decorations used by the mannerist and found in the Roman villas, complete with cupids, garlands, and birds. Salon de la Princesse
rectilinear functional structures, with natural curving picturesque landscapes that begun through the English landscape, and Le Corbusier took this theory and applied it to the urban design of, A Contemporary City of Three Million Inhabitants, that laid a tremendously influential bases for the future of the modern day city along with its very rectilinear box skyscrapers that sprang up in the American city during the later part of the twentieth century, and the modern skyscraper is considered " the greatest form given of the twentieth century." The skyscraper is an American baby, that came about because of 2.Hoare et al.: Stourhead, Wiltshire, England, redesign begun 1750s with a box on top being fairly light weight and covered with a thin skin unlike the former stone covered skyscrapers. Le Corbusier looked down upon the city that surrounded him which was noisy and chaotic, therefore his plan is laid out on an organized grid, with towers hovering over green parks and functional transportation systems, that are developments executed in modern day cites as New York that houses the Seagrum Building(1954-58) which include all elements that are seen in the tower plan of Le Corbusier. However as downtown Richmond proves, the use of a natural landscape within an urban setting is not always an inviting environment and fails as a productive public space, within a setting where property is valuable. The Le Corbusier plan is an outcrop of the idea behind combining formal dome of the Florence, Cathedral(1420s), and also the beams are solid iron, where as today an I-Beam is used for lightness. This first glance at metal framing of bridges develops into monumental structures and at the end of the 19th century, it includes very tall structures as the Eiffel Tower(1889), expansive bridges as the Brooklyn Bridge(1883), and structures that cover large areas as the Crystal Palace(1851), and the records are still being broken
