    Renaissance architecture

    Renaissance architecture is the architecture of the period between


    the early 15th and early 17th centuries in different regions of
    Europe, demonstrating a conscious revival and development of
    certain elements of ancient Greek and Roman thought and material
    culture.
    Baroque architecture
    Baroque architecture and its embellishments
    were on the one hand more accessible to the
    emotions and on the other hand, a visible
    statement of the wealth and power of the
    Church

    Rococo Architecture

    Rococo or "Late Baroque", is an 18th-century


    artistic movement and style, affecting many
    aspects of the arts including painting,
    sculpture, architecture, interior
    design, decoration, literature, music, and
    theatre. It developed in the early 18th century
    in Paris, France as a reaction against the
    grandeur, symmetry, and strict regulations of
    the Baroque.
    Neoclassical architecture
    Neoclassical architecture is an architectural style produced by
    the neoclassical movement that began in the mid-18th century. In
    its purest form. it is a style principally derived from the
    architecture of classical antiquity, the Vitruvian principles, and the
    architecture of the Italian architect Andrea Palladio.

    Difference between baroque and neo-classical

    Neoclassical mean the symmetrical and beautiful while the baroque is dramatic
    very decorative and lavish.

    Fundamental principles of architecture

    features
    Neoclassical, or "new" classical, architecture describes buildings that are inspired
    by the classical architecture of ancient Greece and Rome. If you look closely at a
    Neoclassical building you may see echoes of the Parthenon in Athens or
    the Pantheon in Rome.

    Neoclassical buildings have many (although not necessarily all) of these features:

    •Tall columns that rise the full height of the building


    •Symmetrical shape plan
    •Triangular pediment
    •Domed roof
    •Colonnaded structure
    •Pure forms of buildings
    Early classical revival
    Full height entry porch with pediments and column
    Lunette window in portico pediment
    Elliptical fanlight over paneled front door
    Side gabled and low hipped roof
    Large window and doors

    Greek revival style

    Front gabled roof.


    Front porch with column
    Front façade with corner pilaster
    Broad cornice
    Attic and frieze level window
    city planning

    Neoclassicism also influenced city planning.


    the ancient Romans had used a consolidated scheme for city planning for both defence and
    civil convenience, however, the roots of this scheme go back to even older civilizations.

    At its most basic, the grid system of streets, a central forum with city services, two main
    slightly wider boulevards, and the occasional diagonal street were characteristic of the very
    logical and orderly Roman design.

    Ancient façades and building layouts were oriented to these city design patterns and they
    tended to work in proportion with the importance of public buildings.
