REASONS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT
NEOCLASSISM
Superficially kicked off by archeological discoveries of ancient monuments, that
were buried by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius.
It rose out of a belief that architectural movements like Baroque and Rococo
took architecture too far from its origins by creating a much plastic environment
with superfluous ornamentation.
Articles, essays and books by many French scholars and theorists over reviving
the past and rejecting the anti-natural ornamentation of Rococo and Baroque
styles of architecture. Example.

BASIC CHARACTERSTICSThe style breaded on the
balance and harmony ofancient Greece.
Buildings indulged in no
scenographic effects and
elements clearly reveal their
function.
Straight lines are favored over
curves, volumes are less often
contrasted, adornments are
fewer, symmetry becomes a
must, columns and lintels aremore frequent than arches, &
triangular pediments than
semi-circular ones. BRITISH MUSEUM, LONDONPicture Reference : www.google.com

symmetrical shape, tall
columns that rise the full
height of the building,
triangular pediment, and a
domed roof.
The buildings are
characterized by
monumental structures,
supported or decorated by
columns of Doric, Or
Corinthian pillars, andtopped with classical
Renaissance domes.
Architectural innovations
like layered cupolas and
inner cores added strength
to domes, and their
dimensions increased
grandeur to civic buildings,
churches, educational
facilities and large private
homes.
