Lecture Series � The survival of Carpenter Gothic in the architecture of Victoria
add to outlook add to google calendar remind me
Gothic Revival architecture – inspired by the great cathedrals of Europe spawned curious variants such as Collegiate Gothic, Prairie Gothic, Castle Gothic, Steamboat Gothic, and Carpenter Gothic. It was this last variant that had the most impact locally. Gothic Revival faced its doom from changing tastes and technological advances, but was it possible for it to survive the test of time in the form of Carpenter Gothic?
Despite new trends such as Arts & Crafts and Art Deco capturing the fancy of Victorians, Dr. Nick Russell sees a design continuum and asks the question: Has Victoria inherited a legacy of Carpenter Gothic design elements that still influence architects today?
Dr. Russell is a Victoria heritage researcher, lecturer, and writer. He has recently authored Glorious Victorian Homes: 150 Years of Architectural History in BC’s Capital and Then & Now: Postcards from the Past.
