ABSTRACT This article is adapted from the dissertation ‘Railway Architecture: The Great Northern Railway (Ireland) at Dundalk’, completed by Siobhan Osgood for the MPhil in Art History: Art + Ireland, where it was awarded a distinction. The study provides an historical analysis in the context of architectural development and broader railway culture in Ireland to provide an interpretation and understanding of the use of polychromatic yellow, red and black brickwork to create a visual identity for railway architecture. The use of accented colours to pick out key features is repeated across a series of buildings, thus creating a distinctive style of ‘brick-branding’. These are most prominent in the town of Dundalk, where the GNRI had its central engineering works at the halfway point on the Dublin to Belfast mainline and at the point where the Irish North line extended west and north. The buildings were each intricately designed by the GNRI's first chief engineer, William Hemingway Mills, a second-generation railway engineer who merged the roles of architect and engineer using an amalgamation of architectural designs from his earlier career in Derby, Scotland, Mexico and Spain. Mills thus created his own ‘Millsian’ style of industrial architectural design.

铁路建筑:Dundalk 的大北方铁路(爱尔兰)

摘要 本文改编自 Siobhan Osgood 为艺术史硕士学位:艺术 + 爱尔兰完成的论文“铁路建筑:邓多克的大北方铁路(爱尔兰)”,并在那里获得了荣誉。该研究提供了爱尔兰建筑发展和更广泛铁路文化背景下的历史分析,以解释和理解使用多色黄色、红色和黑色砖砌为铁路建筑创造视觉识别。在一系列建筑中重复使用强调色来挑选关键特征,从而创造出一种独特的“砖块品牌”风格。这些在邓多克镇最为突出,GNRI 在都柏林至贝尔法斯特干线的中途点以及爱尔兰北线向西和向北延伸的地方进行中央工程工作。这些建筑均由 GNRI 的第一任总工程师威廉·海明威·米尔斯精心设计,威廉·海明威·米尔斯是第二代铁路工程师,他融合了建筑师和工程师的角色,融合了他早期在德比、苏格兰、墨西哥和西班牙的职业生涯中的建筑设计。米尔斯因此创造了他自己的“米尔斯”风格的工业建筑设计。一位第二代铁路工程师,他将他早期在德比、苏格兰、墨西哥和西班牙的职业生涯中的建筑设计融合在一起,将建筑师和工程师的角色融合在一起。米尔斯因此创造了他自己的“米尔斯”风格的工业建筑设计。一位第二代铁路工程师,他将他早期在德比、苏格兰、墨西哥和西班牙的职业生涯中的建筑设计融合在一起,将建筑师和工程师的角色融合在一起。米尔斯因此创造了他自己的“米尔斯”风格的工业建筑设计。
