Tudor architecture

As Tudor (English " Tudor Style" ) or Tudor Gothic is in the English architecture the final period of the Gothic style in the transition to the Renaissance during the reign of the Tudor ( 1485-1603 ) denotes that seamlessly connects to the Perpendicular style.

Mark

Characteristic is the restraining of late Gothic architecture detail forms, the reluctant assuming elements of the Renaissance, as the Tudor arch is a compact form of the Gothic pointed arch. A "typical" Tudor exterior is distinguished by rectangular or polygonal ( from the octagon derived ) Flankierungstürmchen and oriel, lancet windows, partly rectangular with cross Stock, partly with Tudor arches and often crenellated wall terminations ( even at church ), sometimes interrupted by a triangular pediment, sometimes strung together triangular pediment without battlements, and filigree fireplace architectures on the roofs. The symmetry plays in the early Tudor no role, but the diversity of individual sections of the facade is emphasized.

A particularly striking appearance of the Tudor style is the half-timbered architecture, which repeats the above- mentioned forms in wooden architecture. The Asymmetric is underlined even by respectively different timber shapes of the individual storeys and building in timber. The Tudor half-timbered was formative for the late medieval town architecture in England, still visible today, particularly in Chester.

Aftermath of Tudor England

In the further development of the Tudor style ( referred to in the English art history as Elizabethan Architecture, followed by Jacobean Architecture) decreased the Gothic style elements, including the Tudor arch. Also, the fronts are increasingly symmetrical.

Ultimately survived the Tudor Gothic style elements, the Baroque architecture of the British Isles. During the whole 17th century, was built through parallel to the "modern" style of the Palladian even further in Tudor, Gothic in England in the 18th century experienced a renaissance as many castles and country houses were newly built or remodeled in the Gothic Revival.

Tudor Revival

Towards the middle of the 19th century, the early Tudor style was revived in eclectic form in historicism and also found in the former British colonies and on the European mainland distribution later. Hotels and train stations, but also private residential buildings were built in this new Tudor style. In English, this is referred to as Tudor revival or mock Tudor. An example of this is the Wrocław Główny station in Wroclaw.
