19th Century

This is a period of the emerging of mass market. It is a period when people becomes globalized that makes the technology of building spread into different part of the world by the world expo. With the first world expo was held that the Crystal palace that was designed by Joseph Paxon with the Used of iron and glass, while the interior is done by Owen Joan. There is an issue of alienness of the building that Joan has to deal with because at that time there is no one makes such a big building out of glass. Joan turned the alienness of the building into the decoration of the building. I personally like this building as it is the great invention of the construction of technology and as thinking as people that dress like characters from Downton Abbey  and walk in a glass building. It gives out such an odd feeling that people there would have felt that they are in the future world. Another world expo, the Columbus world expo took place in Chicago. I would say that I appreciate people back then for building the entire city within four months. However, it is too bad that everything was burned down in the great Chicago fire. And that actually makes this windy city became a city of architecture in the present time.
