4. Coventry Patmore and the aesthetics of architecture

Author

Crook, J. Mordaunt

Subjects
Architectural criticism -- History, Architecture -- Aesthetics, Literature/writing
Abstract

Coventry Patmore's architectural criticism is often unjustly overlooked. Patmore understood the best architecture uses gravity to aesthetic advantage, and rejected the concept of decoration as either an autonomous form or as structural expression. Patmore felt Egyptian, Greek, and Gothic styles of architecture were the only ones to properly utilize the material, rational, and spiritual purposes of structures.

45. Walpole's 'little Gothic castle.' (history of Strawberry Hill house, United Kingdom; designed by Horace Walpole)

Author

Crook, J. Mordaunt

Subjects
Gothic revival (Architecture) -- History, Literature/writing
Abstract

Strawberry Hill house in the UK was originally designed by Horace Walpole in the Victorian Gothic design, with modern extensions having retained the original style. Walpole is attributed with being pivotal to the Gothic Revival movement. The house has been owned by St Mary's University College since 1925 and has been adequately maintained, although the garden requires restoration. The building will ultimately be run by English Heritage, which could lead to the recovery of some of its contents.
