Industrial Revolution

INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION

The 1.Industrial revolution  took place from the 18th to 19th century. It was a time where everything was once a time of rural spaces and agriculture.

MOODBOARD

My mood board is a reflection of the industrial revolution period. I wanted to capture all elements of the era with a few pictures. It was a time where everything was developing at a fast pace. Lots of machine work and inventions of new machines to help in this fast time. The colours in this time period at the beginning were quite minimal and dark but in the end, of the ear, they began to brighten because of improvement of inventions and dyes.

"Modern Times is a 1936 comedy film written and directed by Charlie Chaplin in which his iconic Little Tramp character struggles to survive in the modern, industrialized world."

SOCIAL

The 2.white middle class found many the increase in jobs throughout this time. Lots of mills and factories employed the white middle class for their new working men as the rise in demand for products and machinery began to boom. But this had downfalls as it meant longer working hours, harder labour and learning how to work on quick machines.

Although long hours, hard conditions and child labour was not new to this era it was the rise in the amount of people having these downfalls due to the huge boom in products and machines. 

As well as children, the 3.woman in the industrial revolution were also sent to work married or single. The conditions like the men were not ideal. The woman was sent to work in textile, and workshops.           3. http://www.womeninworldhistory.com/lesson7.html

ARCHITECTURE

There were limited brick and missionary found in the industrial revolution due to the excessive use of the gothic revival and other periods where most buildings were mate from stones or bricks.  Because of the limitations, Mass production of iron and steel was made. It was being made in such huge quantities making architecture and design lighter and bigger with more open spaces. Making iron and steel an economical choice of material at the time. 

Much Iconic building were built with iron before it became available for public use such as:

"The Crystal Palace, 1851, London, England - More than 6 million people journeyed to the Great Exhibition of 1851 on newly built railroads."

The Crystal palace was designed by Sir Joesph Paxton, for the great exhibition in 1851 . The exhibition was held in hyde park and the palace was built purposly for the event. It was organised by Prince Albert for his wife Queen Victoria. The exhibition was to show off all the new inventions made in that time , showing off their modern designs and ideas to the world. 

The palace measured 564 meters by 138 meters it was the largest building of its time. It was a unique build as it showed off the mass production of steel and its strength with its cast iron and plate glass structure. Which was so unique giving it the name of the crystal palace. After people had seen the magnificent building, people wanted their residential homes to be built in a similar manner.  

Before the industrial revolution buildings took years to make and builders had to be incredibly skilled in manipulating materials. Because of the wholesale advantage steel had, the manufacturing was quicker and the production was easier making it faster and safer way to build.
