Consider the following statements regarding European architecture
1. The French brought with them the Iberian style of architecture.
2. The Portuguese introduced the concept of Patio Houses.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
1 only
2 only
Both 1 and 2
Neither 1 nor 2
Portugese Influence The Portuguese brought with them the Iberian style of architecture. Hence, statement 1 is incorrect. They initially built trading posts and ware houses, which were later remodelled into fortified town along the coastlines. They also introduced the concept of ‘patio houses’ and ‘Baroque style’ developed in late-16th century in Europe to express the strength of the Church. It had elaborate, detailed and theatrical design to create adramatic effect. It involved use of contrasting colours.
French influence The French brought the concept of urban city planning with them. The French towns of Pondicherry and Chandernagore (now Chandannagar, West Bengal) were built using the Cartesian grid plans and scientific architectural designs. They built imposing buildings as a show of power. They also introduced the concept of anonymous architecture which involves simple facade without much ornamentation or design, much like modern buildings.
