The Crescent

June 19, 2014 by admin

Before the eighteenth century, Buxton hardly exists on the map: a small town at the highest elevation in England. However, the fashion resorts with mineral springs became active, which local landowners, the Dukes of Devonshire, were able to exploit. Here, the Neo -Palladianism was used for pleasure and business. The most famous architectural point of view the city is Crescent, built by John Carr (1780-1786). This curved terrace was built to include ground floor shops, two hotels, accommodation and meeting rooms. This combination of functions exists today, Crescent remaining life center city. The facades are looking like the Inigo Jones’s design for Covent Garden Piazza, the first building in the UK urban paladin. Carr’s arches are in a rustic style, they support the upper floors. The building, in its entirety creates a urban feel deeper than Royal Crescent, Bath by John Wood.
