Document Summary
New part is english garden part of marie antoinette. Arbitrary beauty- proportions, transition from foundation up. Neoclassical is the rival of the rococo. Principles of architecture are found in nature and are built in nature. Capture and catalog all elements and facets of the world. Emotional and reason and depth of human emotion. Sublimes- perceiving without fear, fear but if you take away the immediate peril that you"ll come to some kind of harm. Industrial and technological sublime, overwhelming power of industry. Chronological sublime- being afraid of how far in the past it was. Mathematical sublime- so vast hard to reduce to quantifiable number. Natural sublime- overwhelmed by power of nature. You"re not supposed to see it as a whole. Sheer sublime scale makes it romantic classicism. Cenotaph- memorial to someone who is dead but is not actually buried there. Meant to look old and like cottages. Idea of having a yard was new.
