    The document discusses Baroque architecture between the 16th to 18th centuries. It was a reaction against Renaissance architecture seeking greater emotion and illusion through elaborate ornamentation, dynamic light and color. Key features included long narrow naves replaced by broader circular forms, excessive ornamentation, and irregular curved lines within symmetry. Major architects included Bernini, Borromini and Mansart. Geometry and mathematics were applied to plans based on basic shapes. Interior spaces were monumental leading to higher levels.

    BAROQUE ARCHITECTURE

    HISTORY OF ARCHITECTURE

    SUNAYANA
    B.ARCH.
    BACKGROUND AND MEANING
    • BAROUE ARCHITECTURE , TIME PERIOD- 16TH TO 18TH CENTURY
    • BAROQUE ARCHITECTURE WAS A REACTION TO RENAISSANCE
    ARCHITECTURE .
    • COUNTER REFORMATION – EMOTIONAL AND SENSORY APPEAL
    THROUGH ART AND ARCHITECTURE
    • EUROPEAN COLONISM WAS AT ITS PEAK, WHICH MEANT
    HAVING ABSOLUTE POWER AND WEALTH.
    • IT WAS VERY ORNAMENTAL AND OVER THE TOP.
    • MATERIALS USED WERE VERY RICH , FOR EXAMPLE : GOLD ,
    GRANITE ETC.

    PALACE OF VERSAILLE
    • BAROQUE IS THOUGHT AS A MUCH MORE EMOTIONAL, MORE
    ELABORATE, MORE ILLUSIONISTIC FORM OF RENAISSANCE
    ARCHITECTURE, WITH GREATER MANIPULATION OF LIGHT,
    COLOUR, TEXTURE AND PERSPECTIVE.
    • IT BOASTS MORE OSTENTATIOUS EXTERIORS; MORE COMPLEX
    LESS GEOMETRIC BUT MORE UNIFIED FLOOR-PLANS PLUS A
    HOST OF WALL AND CEILING FRESCO DECORATIONS.

    • EXESSIVE USE OF COLOUR AND ORNAMENTATION

    GEOMETRY AND MATHEMATICS
    • THE AGE OF THE
    BAROQUE—WAS A
    TIME WHEN GREAT
    STRIDES WERE
    MADE IN SCIENCE
    AND
    MATHEMATICS—
    WITNESSED THE
    CONSTRUCTION OF
    SOME OF THE
    WORLD'S MOST
    MAGNIFICENT
    BUILDINGS
    • MOST OF THE PLANS
    WERE DERIVED OF
    THE GEOMETRICAL SCHEME OF BASIC GEOMETRIC
    BORROMINI’S SANT’IVO SHAPES , AN
    EXAMPLE OF WHICH
    IS GIVEN ALONG.
    CLASSICAL ROOTS
    • BAROQUE STYLE EVOLVED FROM THE CLASSIC FORMS OF THE
    RENAISSANCE, BUT IT DIFFERS BY NEW DETAILS AND TRENDS:
    COLOSSAL BUILDINGS AS PROPORTIONS WITH DRAMATIC
    APPEARANCE, POMPOUS FACADES WITH GABLES MODIFIED IN
    VARIOUS MEANS, DOUBLE TOWERS, TALL AND UNSHAPELY
    DOMES, ANNEX BUILDINGS WITH BEAUTIFUL ORNAMENTS,
    WINDOWS WITH IRREGULAR FORMS ETC.

    ST. PETERS BASILICA


    CRITICAL ANALYSIS
    • IN BAROQUE ARCHITECTURE, A PECULIAR CHARACTERISTIC IS
    USING THE ARCHITECTURAL ELEMENTS WHICH GIVE
    GREATNESS, LIKE: MASSIVE COLUMNS, TALL VAULTS, LARGE
    ARCHES, OVERWHELMING DOMES, COLORS WITH HIGH
    CONTRASTS, VOLUMES AND IMPRESSIVE EMPTY SPACES.
    • THE INTERIOR OF A CONSTRUCTION BUILT IN A BAROQUE
    STYLE HAS AS ONE OF ITS INNOVATIONS THE USE OF A HUGE
    INTERIOR SPACE AT THE ENTRANCE FOLLOWED BY THE
    PRESENCE OF MONUMENTAL STAIRS WHICH CONNECT THE
    GROUND FLOOR TO THE OTHER LEVELS OF THE BUILDING. AS
    A FACT, THE MODEL OF THE MONUMENTAL INTERIOR
    STAIRCASE BECAME A SPECIFIC ELEMENT OF THE WEALTH OF
    THE BOURGEOISIE, BEING COPIED AT A SMALLER SCALE IN
    DIFFERENT ARISTOCRATIC RESIDENCES FROM EVERYWHERE
