There’s a complete chronology for the buildings and styles that keep on changing over the time period. The style talks about the various aspects such as materials, regional character, form, method of making, and so on. Based on the architectural style, there are different features and genres. What is Architectural Style?Īn architectural style is a representation of an art form in a building making its features and structures historically identifiable. Architecture is a fluid art that has evolved through the years, and we can say it as a constant movement, one of the essential things to take into consideration. Sometimes, a particular period reflects the overflow of new ideas, and sometimes the merging of two contradictory ideas makes way for innovative architectural movements. Each period or era flaunts its specific style. One important thing to note is the connection between those periods and related construction style. The classification of most of the architectural styles is according to the respective periodical styles, marked with the reflecting and unique characteristics that often keep on changing over time.Įach age has seen a specific and new type of architectural growth in the building construction. It was during the classical era that ideas and construction techniques came into the forefront. Even before the Greeks and the Romans came in, humans were actively involved in designing and constructing. The one question that remains prominent among today’s generation is regarding the beginning of Architecture, either Western, Eastern or Indian. Chequer, East Street, Rye.Architecture has seen rapid changes over time, ranging from the old age to that of the modern era, thereby witnessing evolution at every step. Returning to central Rye there are hundreds of examples of interesting properties including the one below and sadly space doesn’t allow me to publish many, but Chequer (below) is one of the most visually impressive examples. An unbroken Georgian crescent in Military Road. Military Road probably has some of the most varied architectural styles in one road, at the top you have Victorian and Georgian terraces separated by the former Bethel Chapel, a thatched cottage, Art Deco houses, a modern cube, a neo Georgian estate, period cottages and farmhouses, 1960s chalets, Edwardian detached houses and a cluster of properties in a mixture of styles to name but a few. This modern cube design in Military Road sits well in a sloping plot I know I’m stating the obvious when I say we have some amazing and very diverse architecture locally, we perhaps take it for granted but I have put a few examples together showing the diversity of design which, I suppose is one of the reasons tourists flock here. The Armoury in Military Road makes an unusual home. I have been compiling a record of ‘traffic free Rye’, a collection of photographs of various locations without cars parked near or in front, it’s such a rare event and unlikely to be witnessed again for many years and with the weather also on our side I felt there’s no time like the present. Unsurprisingly there was not a great deal happening in town other than the usual orderly queue outside Boots and a few delivery vans going about their business, not exactly front page news. Walking through Rye on my daily constitutional on Monday whilst using up my daily exercise allowance, I thought I should make myself useful and see if there was anything worth photographing on the way round.
