Architecture (1800 - 1900)

             In summary, according to Sporre, architecture during the Romanic Era was generally based on combining different styles from other eras all into one. For example, there are gothic motifs, fantasy, picturesque style and eastern influence as well. The reason for this is because during this time architects were experiencing with different building materials and concepts. Sporre mentions three main materials which are iron, steel and glass for building during this time. (p.334). These buildings and structures that were created through experimentation have now become a part of history, and they are examples of the stepping stones that architects are able to use from this era onward. They have also shown a starting point from where architecture once was to where it is now.
