Influences in the Victorian Period Styles

The Victorian Period styles were influenced by a blend of historical revivals, including Gothic, Rococo, and Renaissance motifs. Additionally, the availability of new materials impacted architecture and design. Social values and cultural ideals of the time also shaped Victorian aesthetics, leading to ornate, elaborate designs often characterized by symmetry, intricate detailing, and an eclectic mix of influences. 

Industrial Revolution

3 triumphs of the Industrial Revolution are economic growth, technology advancements and social change. Pitfalls of the industrial revolution are poor working conditions, exploitation of labor and environmental degradation. 

Contemporary Periods:
