Architecture of France
They say that the architecture is the stiffened music. In development it in Europe can be allocated two main periods, and, respectively, two styles: Romance and Gothic. The second arose by evolution of Romance architecture and meant its transition to higher stage of development. France is the homeland of Gothic style, the church architecture is considered its basis. The application of lancet codes for giving to the code of bigger ease for the first time used in 1140 at reorganization of a tomb of kings in the monastery Saint-Denis was revolution in architecture of that time.
Throughout the XV century there were changes in the field of the French fine arts purchasing gradually secular character. In the 15th century the gothic style enters the new, last phase of development which received the name of "the burning gothic style". Construction of new cathedrals stops, and the main attention is paid to ornament and expansion of old buildings to which attach bell towers and towers and also magnificent portals and church porches. Widely the civil architecture develops. In a number of the northern and western cities town halls are under construction (Arras, Seong Kanteng). Along with widespread type of the wooden apartment house with speakers one above another the new type of the rich city mansion (hotel) succeeding the strengthened city dwelling of the feudal lord arises the floors which are based upon a stone socle. The most remarkable among them - the house of the rich entrepreneur and financier Jacque Kerr in the city of Burzh.
The Gothic style in France is born because of need to change some typical installations of Romance style. Therefore architects begin to build constructions in new style which is characterized by more uniform distribution, than visual weight. Use arches and glass windows which do constructions of this style spacious and light.
Striking example of Gothic architecture in France is Notre Dame de Paris. It is the basilica of long 129 meters consisting of five underground naves and one cross – a cross aisle. In the temple three entrances portals, over them - statues of Judaic tsars. As an important element of Gothic style the window rose in the center of the western facade acts.
War slowed down development of architecture in France, and the following round, Renaissance, came only at a boundary of the 15-16th centuries. During this period history has an impact on architecture, and creates new style. At this time in France Francis I who is known to all as the fan of quiet life and the judge of the nature reigns. Revival in architecture are Loire castles (Blua, Shenonso, Aze-le-Rido, Shambor), royal residences in Fontainebleau and Louvre, palace ensembles of Ane, Shantiyi. The French architecture of revival was expressed in openwork ladder towers, ornamental carved windows, high roofs and in strict colonnades. There are eminent architects - Pierre Lescaut, Philibert Delorm, Andrue Dyuserso.
Isolation of Paris from other France led to loss of the leading value by it in art life. New lines in art of this time are entirely connected with activity of provincial art workshops.
However France gained the legal recognition in world architecture with the advent of the legendary belle époque style better known as a modernist style which arose at a boundary of XIX - the beginnings of the 20th centuries, again prior to World War I. Distinctive features of modernist style are the asymmetry and curvilinear forms, and the French architect Hector Gimar (1867 — 1942) who created the special, so-called style of Gimar, or "style of the subway in architecture" became one of bright representatives of floralny modernism. It was distinguished by refinement of the curling and curved forms, a difficult uzornost, asymmetry, violation of natural proportions. The line in his works turned into a peculiar element of the organization of the space deprived of parallelism and symmetry. At the heart of an original and bright esthetics of modernism the idea of synthesis of arts, aspiration to creation of uniform style in architecture, an interior, the schedule, painting and design lay.
