For my essay on this project, I will produce a timeline for architecture. Examples of architectural milestones is the era of the church; this has medieval and Gothic styles, the industrial revolution which saw such artistic movements as futurism, vorticism and cubism which influenced architects a lot, and also modern times; of which we see the likes of the sage (Gateshead), the shard, 30 St Mary Axe (formally known as the Gherkin), etc. which is heavily influenced on earlier futurism, I also think that some buildings are influenced by sci fi films, books and images. For my project, I will be focusing on Newcastle and its skyline.
What I have noticed while researching architecture is that how fast and to what extent architecture is changing - becoming more and more like artists visions of a city. Architecture could also be seen as artistic movement.
