What is Queen Anne style architecture and describe its features?

In the United States, Queen Anne-style architecture was popular from

roughly 1880 to 1910.Queen Anne" was one of a number of popular
architectural styles to emerge during the Victorian era.
The style bears almost no relationship to the English Baroque architecture
produced in the actual reign of Queen Anne from 1702 to 1714. It
describes a wide range of picturesque buildings with "free Renaissance"
(non-Gothic Revival) details rather than of a specific formulaic style in its
own right.
Distinctive features of the American Queen Anne style may include:
• asymmetrical façade
• dominant front-facing gable, often cantilevered beyond the plane of the
wall below
• overhanging eaves
• round, square, or polygonal towers
• shaped and Dutch gables
• a porch covering part or all of the front facade, including the primary
entrance area
• a second-story porch or balconies
• pedimented porches
• differing wall textures, such as patterned wood shingles shaped into
varying designs, including resembling fish scales, terra cotta tiles, relief
panels, or wooden shingles over brickwork, etc.
• dentils
• classical columns
• spindle work
• oriel and bay windows
• horizontal bands of leaded windows
• monumental chimneys
• painted balustrades
• wooden or slate roofs
• front gardens with wooden fences

Describe Antoine gaudi’s architectural style and work .

Antoni Gaudí (25 June 1852 – 10 June 1926) was a Spanish architect from
Catalonia. He is the best known practitioner of Catalan Modernism.
Gaudí's works have a highly individualized, and one-of-a-kind style.
Antoni Gaudi was a Spanish architect and is well known as the face of
Catalan architecture. He was fond of nature, and work is often cited as
being inspired by his love of natural design and modernism. His most
famous work is the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona, but more on that later.

The use of parabolic arches is a result of an efficiency structure research

with models. The enhancement of gothic columns to inward leaned, self
carrying columns and vaults avoiding the traditional flying buttresses. The
materials used by Gaudi ranged from stone, ceramics and tiles to wrought
iron, glass and bricks.

His works

1. Casa Vicens
This is Gaudí’s first important building. Built between 1883 and
1888, Casa Vicens is an imaginative residential project made for a
wealthy family that owned a ceramic factory. This is clearly
reflected in the “trencadis” façade that contains a significant
variety of ceramic decorations. You can also see some Islamic
architecture influences in its façade and some of its rooms.

2. La Pedrera
This is one of Gaudí’s main residential buildings and one of the
most imaginative houses in the history of architecture. This
building is more sculpture than a building. The façade is a varied
and harmonious mass of undulating stone that, along with its
forged iron balconies, explores the irregularities of the natural
world. UNESCO recognized this building as World Heritage in
1984.
3. Parc Güell
Parc Güell was built between 1900 and 1914 and today is part of
the UNESCO World Heritage. This is a garden complex that
houses a series of dynamically designed buildings, including
Gaudí’s house. Most buildings have the “trencadis” (surfaces
covered with irregular ceramic pieces) that is characteristic of
Gaudí and Art Nouveau. The colonnaded hall and the terrace
with serpentine shapes are the most famous places in this park.
This park is the perfect place to take a peaceful stroll while
enjoying nature and looking at Gaudí’s artwork.

Difference between Art Deco and art nevo style.

Art Nouveau style

Art Nouveau, ornamental style of art that flourished between about 1890
and 1910 throughout Europe and the United States. Art Nouveau is
characterized by its use of a long, sinuous, organic line and was employed
most often in architecture, interior design, jewelry and glass design,
posters, and illustration.
Art Nouveau is the name for the artistic movement that started in Europe
around 1890 and lasted until around 1910.
English uses the French name Art Nouveau (new art). ... By 1910, Art
Nouveauwas already out of style. It was replaced as the dominant
European architectural and decorative style first by Art Deco and then by
Modernism.
New materials used by Art Nouveau artists
• Cast iron. One of the main products of the first industrial revolution. ...
• Steel and iron. This material is the symbol of the first industrial
revolution (from 1830). ...
• Ceramics. ...
• Glass. ...
• Reinforced concrete. ...
• Lift elevators. ...
• Electrical lights. ...
• Central heating.
It all started in 1861 in England, the most industrialized country at the
time, where William Morris in collaboration with other artists, created
the Arts and Crafts Movement as a reaction to the mid-19th-century
artistic styles.
It all comes down to "flowery" vs. "streamlined." Art Nouveau is the
decorative one. Art Deco is sleeker. The Explanation: Both the Art
Nouveau andArt Deco movements emerged as reactions to major world
events; the Industrial Revolution and World War I, respectively.
Art nouveau (c.1880 to 1910) Art nouveau could be said to be the first
20th century modern style. It was the first style to stop looking backwards
in history for ideas, taking inspiration instead from what it saw around it,
in particular the natural world.
Like synthetism, this is also an aesthetic which begins in nature, even if
that nature is not recognizable in the finished art work. ... Thus, art
nouveau, at the Paris Exposition of 1889 was embodied by the Eiffel
Tower, the epitome of technology. But by 1900, it was embodied by a
statue adorned in coutourier robes.

Art Deco style

Art Deco, also called style moderne, movement in the decorative arts and
architecture that originated in the 1920s and developed into a major style
in westernEurope and the United States during the 1930s.
In classic Art Deco, rectangular blocky forms were often arranged in a
geometric fashion, then broken up by curved ornamental elements. But
always the aim was a monolithic appearance with applied decorative
motifs.
It is a style of drawing, that relies on bold designs, clear lines, vibrant
colours and patterns. Geometric shapes and intense colour schemes are
prominent. Art Deco's main characteristics are derived from the various
painting styles of the early twentieth century, ranging from Cubism to
Italian Futurism.
Art Deco, also called style moderne, movement in the decorative arts and
architecture that originated in the 1920s and developed into a major style
in western Europe and the United States during the 1930s. ... Art Deco
design represented modernism turned into fashion.

What is Bauhaus style movement.

1. The Bauhaus educational principles were a reaction to the heavily

ornamented design which was common in the early 1900s. Applied to
industrial design, architecture, graphics, interior design and typography,
they include harmony of design and function (form follows function), with
a deliberate lack of ornamentation.

2. Staatliches Bauhaus commonly known simply as Bauhaus, was a

German art school operational from 1919 to 1933 that combined crafts
and the fine arts, and was famous for the approach to design that it
publicized and taught. The Bauhaus was founded by Walter Gropius in
Weimar.
3. The Bauhaus, a German word meaning "house of building", was a
school founded in 1919 in Weimar, Germany by architect Walter Gropius.
The school emerged out of late-19th-century desires to reunite the
applied arts and manufacturing, and to reform education.
4. The Bauhaus movement began in 1919 when Walter Gropius founded a
school with a vision of bridging the gap between art and industry by
combining crafts and fine arts.
The German architect Walter Gropius (1833 to 1969), who became a US
citizen in 1944, founded the Bauhaus Movement as a school of arts in
Weimar, the city of Goethe.
Walter Gropius, the founder of the Bauhaus, was its director until 1928.
He appointed the Swiss architect Hannes Meyer as his successor. Meyer
was succeeded in 1930 by the architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, who
had also been suggested as a successor by Gropius.
There are a lot of things that Germany has given to the world. In the arts,
Germany has often been at the forefront of fine art, architecture, and
design. But why treat these as three separate categories? In the early
20th century, one movement decided it was time to erase the lines that
separated fine arts and decorative crafts and unite them together within
architecture. This was the Bauhaus Movement.
