Присоединяйтесь ко мне в самостоятельном аудиотуре с GPS-навигатором, который откроет вам глаза на весь спектр архитектуры Филадельфии, охватывающий все американские стили с 1850-х годов до наших дней. Один из самых богатых периодов в художественном плане, он был также одним из самых богатых. Марк Твен назвал эти годы «Позолоченным веком», потому что экономика Америки процветала и быстро зарабатывались огромные состояния. Стили Позолоченного века, такие как барокко Второй империи, высокая викторианская готика и романский стиль, соревнуются за ваше внимание в этом туре. Стили, которым они уступили место, когда мы вступили в 20-й век, также привлекают внимание, такие как боз-ар, ар-деко и интернациональный стиль. Затем с 1970-х годов мы вступаем в эпоху постмодерна, когда почти все подходит для архитектуры — и именно там мы находимся сегодня. По пути я расскажу вам много интересных, но не строго архитектурных историй о Филадельфии и ее зданиях.
