Industrial Revolution. This is a period where many achievements and innovations in technology were developed. However the Industrial Revolution did not happen by itself, it was a gradual process. First, were the arrival of the machines that replaced the work of hand, the use of steam and later other kinds of sources for power and finally the adoption of the factory system.
It is all due to industrial revolution that we have such luxuries today. An example would be electricity, television, radios, telephones, cars, airplanes and much more. All those that we think are so common now would all disappear if not for industrial revolution. It has brought man ways in order to produce more work in much more efficient way. Even though the Industrial Revolution happened only in such a short span of time, a lot of new innovations were made compared to how long most of the work was done manually. The revolution made it possible to use new and faster processes for manufacturing and transportation.
Now, If you're asking how this would have affected architecture. Well, in general, I believe that since manufacturing became faster and maybe much cheaper this provided opportunities for architects at that time to be not constrained on just a few number of materials, since delivery would only take days or weeks instead of months. So construction was a boom, and I can imagine that a lot of structures are being built at that time because of the innovations that Industrial Revolution has made. So, in conclusion, I think without Industrial Revolution, architecture and even other professions would not have evolved to what it is today and I think we would be still stuck in manual labor.
