Arts and crafts movement
Definition

 Pugin, Ruskin, and

William Morris.

This movement and High Victorian Gothic architecture shared many ideals: the

emphasis on individual craft; the belief in expressing materials; the use of

ornament.

The A&C Movement, though, looked forward as well as backwards. It was an

attempt to reconcile architecture and crafts with modern society and industry.

A&C figures often focused on domestic architecture rather than on monumental

and institutional buildings.
