About the Project
This project studied the relationship between the built environment and print culture in modern Europe, concentrating on the 19th and early 20th centuries.
In this period, a host of new public media developed, altering the way architecture was discussed, understood, and – ultimately – built.
Looking particularly at the illustrated press emerging in mid-19th century, we have examined the way architecture in the modern period become a site for cultural negotiation through printed media.
