FRENCH REVOLUTION (1750 –1840) - RADICAL SOCIAL UPHEAVAL
IMMANUEL KANT
“Enlightenment is man's emergence from
his self-incurred immaturity.
Immaturity is the inability to use one's
own understanding without the guidance
of another. …The motto of enlightenment
is therefore: Sapere aude! Have courage
to use your own understanding!”

JEAN JACQUES ROUSSEAU
“….the arts, literature and the sciences,
less despotic though perhaps more
powerful, fling garlands of
flowers over the chains which weigh them
down. They stifle in men’s breasts that
sense of original liberty, for which they
seem to have been born; cause them to
love their own slavery, and so make of
them what is called a civilised people.”

FRENCH REVOLUTION (1750 –1840) - ARCHITECTURE OF REASON
“ The person who guided solely by reason can accept a God as creator, but
not as a guide. From now on architecture no longer served religion and
even less so the feudal ruler. It was believed that the built environment
could be used to have a positive influence on the spirit of the people, and
inspire them to behave in a manner based on reason and morality”
~ The Story of Architecture, From Antiquity to the Present

PHILIP WEBB RED HOUSE
"The Arts and Crafts, together with the English Free Style of architecture, has
its origins in this joint work by Morris and Webb which took the format of
William Butterfield's Gothic Revival vicarage and used its general character as
the point of departure for the short-lived but influential Pre-Raphaelite
domestic style...For Webb,...the Red House was merely the first of a series of
houses in which he endeavoured to engender an authentic ahistorical style,
through the direct expression of local materials and
craftsmanship. Webb adopted the Gothic Revival syntax of Pugin
and Butterfield, that is, clay tiling, corbelled brick work, rubbed
brick arches and circular openings, as a way of articulating an
open-ended form of vernacular expression.“
— Kenneth Frampton and Yukio Futagawa. Modern Architecture 1851-1945.

THE QUESTION OF STYLE
“We ought, like the Romans and the Mohammedans, to take our
national style with us….we shall be likely to succeed best if we
are not too anxious to incorporate much of the art or style of the
country with our own”
~ Roger Smith
Emerson pointed out that, on contrary, Islamic architecture in
India is notable for its degree of adaptation to local conditions.
That was the procedure which he urged the British to Follow.
