Description
The Imaginary Orient: Exotic Buildings of the 18th and 19th Centuries in Europe By Stefan Koppelkamm Published by Edition Axel Menges, 2015 In 18th-century Europe, the landscape garden became a popular concept, blurring the lines between reality and fantasy. This "Orient" was characterized by Islamic culture and featured buildings such as Chinese pagodas, Egyptian tombs, and Turkish mosques. The style was often used in secular and cheerful architecture, including coffee houses, music halls, amusement parks, and steam baths. Extravagant summer residences and middle-class villas also adopted faux-Oriental styles, reflecting the promise of happiness associated with this fantastical world. This book explores the development of these exotic building styles during the 18th and 19th centuries in Europe.
