The Age of Enlightenment...


The age of enlightenment reacts against Baroque, as it says everything needs to have a reason or theory behind it. In which Baroque is the opposite, it majorly about craftsmanship, ornament and design with no consideration of functions or reasons. A great example of architects who is in for the age of enlightenment is Robert Adam.


He is a Scottish architect (3th July 1728-3rd March 1792) who traveled in Grand Tour to Serbia in 1754-58. A trip to Europe for an investigation to see the origin on how things, such as the architectures actually were to prove the reasons of their existence. But most of the things are destroyed so it is simply about nature. First there are artists who go there and paint 100acres of land to natural painting, constructing their own nature. However, painting is no longer enough. So there are integrations of sculpture, making duplicates of what that already existed there. In my opinion, the age of enlightenment and modern is very similar, but modern is more pure and true as the age of enlightenment consist of not only simple geometrical forms, but also curve form as well.
