Ask AI: how does architectural design change during the industrial revolution

During the industrial revolution, architectural design shifted from a focus on symmetrical, classical forms of architecture to more utilitarian designs, such as factories, warehouses and other industrial buildings. These buildings featured minimal ornamentation and were designed with mass production and efficiency in mind. Iron and steel became popular building materials, and taller, fire-proof structures allowed for larger-scale production. Additionally, the introduction of factory-manufactured structural elements allowed for standardization of designs and reduced construction time.
