Comparing Two Prominent Nineteenth Century Architects: John Soane and Gottfried Semper

John Soane (1753 - 1837) is one of the most original architects in the UK. Soane's personal style is neoclassical on the surface, but from his death and concern for ruins, Soane is at the forefront of painting-like design. Gottfried Semper (1803-79) is a German architect, but he adopts the Neo-Renaissance design and believes in its exterior building functionality including every decoration. This article will focus on the differences and similarities between the two famous architects of the 19th century.

Let's start by people who donated his house and valuable private collection and found one of the best small museums in London. Sir John Thorn (born in John Thorn, from 10th September 1753 until 10th January 1837) was one of the most urgent professional architects of the 18th century, the first half of the nineteenth century. Born to a brickworker, he became the leader of his career through his talent, diligence and devotion. He is an architectural professor at Royal College of Art and an official architect of Office Works. During his career, Sir John Thorn (named Jazz in 1831) was in charge of designing and building the following important buildings.

With the development of the 19th century, the industry has funded wealthy entrepreneurs who have sufficient funds to build a special warehouse for passion. For example, in London, Sir Sir John Saonaz, a famous architect, has accumulated copies of ancient artifacts and his own blueprints and needs to secure space. He believes he is the home of the "living laboratory", he is constantly patching today as they follow private bills of parliament. Soanes is anti-traditional in his style of saving space for thousands of exhibitions. For example, paintings are suspended from the first floor to the 3-story building of the main gallery. At the center of his collection is Seti I's sarcophagus, which can accommodate only 70 people at a time.

John Soane is a very good architect of the Victorian era and is a landmark designer nationwide like the Bank of England. But the real passion for his life is art and antiques, he is actively collecting them through the times. After his death, his house became a museum. There are 20,000 items in this collection, from architectural drawings to relics of ancient Egypt, and works of Turner, Canaletto, Piranesi. Another reason to see this particular museum is how the project is arranged. It seems that the original owner looked at them and looked at them just one minute ago.
