Industrial Revolution Architecture
Industrial Revolution Architecture refers to the architectural styles and structures that emerged during the period of the Industrial Revolution, roughly spanning from the late 18th century to the early 19th century. Characterized by the use of new materials such as iron and steel, advancements in construction techniques, and the rise of factories and industrial infrastructure, this type of architecture often features utilitarian designs, large-scale buildings, and a focus on functionality over ornamentation. Key features include the use of exposed metal beams, large windows for natural light, and the incorporation of machinery and technology into building design.
