This lecture delves into the architectural history of New Orleans, focusing on the gens du couleur libres and the pre-existing typologies in the late 18th to mid-19th centuries. It also explores the influence of the Industrial Revolution on architecture, particularly the use of iron, glass, and machines. The presentation covers the Gothic Revival movement, highlighting key figures like John Ruskin and Eugène Viollet-le-Duc, and their impact on architectural theory and practice in Western Europe and the United States.
