【 摘 要 】

Britain first initiated industrial revolution in Europe in the 18th century. The social structure, production relations and aesthetic value orientation in Britain had the characteristics of early modern gradually from then on. In the late 19th century, the contradictions about the architectural form never stopped. At the same time, the demand for reasonable architectural form conforming to the technical conditions was increasing. Architectural practice successively appeared the technical level of the rational exploration of new architectural form. The prelude of the early modern architecture movement for the principle of form has been played during this period. Architects and theorists have made a contribution in the process of the change including Pugin, Ruskin, Morris. British architecture practice and theory gradually had shown the power of change and herald the arrival of the modern architectural form.
