Design-The Crystal Palace and The Great Exhibition

The Crystal Palace and The Great Exhibition

'The Great International Exhibition' in London was held in the Mid-nineteenth century in 1851, this was made to give more importance to the Great Britain. Even the building that had been built for this exhibition was brilliant with great engineering. This design was inspired by The Victorian Architecture and Moorish designs. As an original sketch it was made by Sir Joseph Paxton`s and a design had an effect on the construction on the roof that was made with glass and iron vaulted.

 

The Great Exhibition was a history from the start, because it was made in a very short time. This was made by Henry Cole, who was a member of the Society of Art, but then he stopped and begin supporting Sir Robert Peel. To attract the people, Cole got Prince Albert back to the royal in the 1851, and told them that it was his idea.

This exhibition was made so they can make better level of  production in bigger markets. It was open in Hyde park  for five months and fifteen days and it was the biggest exhibition in the history. There was about six million people that has visited and they came to see some of the innovate machines by fourteen thousand exhibitors that where made into sections.
When they first opened this exhibition they had a high price and after a month they lowered it a bit and that`s why they had a lot of visits. After a century and a half they took about £506,100, one third of the expenses that they made to build the this place and to make the exhibition.
