3. Introduction
INDUSTRIALIZATION is the development of
industries in a country or region on a wide scale.
The industrial Revolution is one of the Great
changes in human history.
The Industrial Revolution saw a rapid development
of industry take place in Britain in the late 18th
and early 19th centuries, soon spreading to
Western Europe and North America.
New and improved large-scale production methods
and machinery marked the beginnings of
Industrialization.
4. The architects of the 19th century were the first ones
to embrace the idea of science and technology over
the cultural legacy which had been carried over last
plenty of centuries.
Coal, iron, lead, copper, tin, limestone, and water
power were also readily available for the British to
use for their industrial advancement.
This coal was widely available in 18th-Century
Britain. Also, coal provided much more energy
potential than wood, which was the main prior
producer of energy.
5. The heavy industry growth brought about a
flood of new building materials such as Cast Iron,
Steel, and Glass, with which architects, with the help
of engineers devised structures of or sizes bigger than
before, of forms better than before, and fit to perform
functions which were not possible before.
6. The Industrial Revolution, which happened in the
latter half of the 18th century, brought about a
number of changes in the architectural scenario all
over the world.
The world turned greatly towards Greek and Roman
forms of architectural design. It was considered
fashionable, and rightly so, to borrow from various
types of architectural designs. The Greek designs
were what dominated the architectural designs that
were taken up, right till the 19th century.
7. Invention of Building Material
• Cast Iron:- use of Cast Iron in structures for
human activities, from bridges and covered
markets, to warehouses and churches. First
developed during the Industrial Revolution,
cast iron became relatively cheap, and was
common as a structural material and for
decorative uses in the second half of the 19th
century, until it fell out of fashion as a
decorative material
9. Wrought Iron:-Wrought iron can be shaped into
lovely intricate designs suitable for fences,
furniture, and architectural elements. Because of
its strength, it can also be used for structural
purposes.
Glass:-It is most typically used as transparent
glazing material in the building envelope,
including windows in the external walls. Glass is
also used for internal partitions and as
an architectural feature. When used
in buildings, glass is often of a safety type, which
include reinforced, toughened and laminated
glasses.
