2. 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.
In form, Neoclassical architecture emphasizes the
wall rather than chiaroscuro and maintains
separate identities to each of its parts. The style is
manifested both in its details as a reaction against
the Rococo style of naturalistic ornament, and in
its architectural formulae as an outgrowth of some
classicising features of Late Baroque.
Neoclassical architecture is still designed today,
but may be labelled New Classical
Architecture for contemporary buildings.
10. Temple style
Temple style building design was based
on an ancient temple. This building were
uncommon during the renaissance as
architects of that period focused mainly
on applying classical element to
churches and modern buildings like
palazzos and villas.
Many temple style buildings feature are a
perishstyle (a continuous line of
columns around a building), a rare
feature of renaissance architecture
14. The Panthéon (Latin: Pantheon,
from Greek Πάνθεον meaning "Every god") is a building
in the Latin Quarter in Paris. It was originally built as a
church dedicated to St. Genevieve and to house the
reliquary châsse containing her relics but, after many
changes, now functions as a
secular mausoleumcontaining the remains of
distinguished French citizens. It is an early example
of neoclassicism, with a façade modeled on
the Pantheon in Rome, surmounted by a dome that
owes some of its character to Bramante's"Tempietto".
Located in the 5th arrondissement on the Montagne
Sainte-Geneviève, the Panthéon looks out over all of
Paris. Designer Jacques-Germain Soufflot had the
intention of combining the lightness and brightness of
the Gothic cathedral with classical principles, but its role
as a mausoleum required the great Gothic windows to
be blocked.
17. The British Museum is a museum dedicated to human
history, art, and culture, located in the Bloomsbury area
of London. Its permanent collection, numbering some 8
million works,[3] is among the largest and most
comprehensive in existence[3] and originates from all
continents, illustrating and documenting the story of human
culture from its beginnings to the present.[a]
The British Museum was established in 1753, largely based
on the collections of the physician and scientist Sir Hans
Sloane. The museum first opened to the public on 15 January
1759 in Montagu House in Bloomsbury, on the site of the
current museum building. Its expansion over the following two
and a half centuries was largely a result of an expanding
British colonial footprint and has resulted in the creation of
several branch institutions, the first being the British Museum
(Natural History) in South Kensington in 1881. Some objects
in the collection, most notably the Elgin Marbles from
the Parthenon, are the objects of controversy and of calls for
restitution to their countries of origin.

26. Robert Adam
Robert Adam FRSE FRS FSA (Scot) FSA FRSA (3 July 1728 – 3 March
1792) was a Scottish neoclassical architect, interior designer and furniture
designer. He was the son of William Adam (1689–1748), the country's
foremost architect of the time, and trained under him. With his older
brother John, Robert took on the family business, which included lucrative
work for the Board of Ordnance, after William's death.
In 1754, he left for Rome, spending nearly five years on the continent
studying architecture under Charles-Louis Clérisseau and Giovanni Battista
Piranesi. On his return to Britain he established a practice in London, where
he was joined by his younger brother James. Here he developed the "Adam
Style", and his theory of "movement" in architecture, based on his studies of
antiquity and became one of the most successful and fashionable architects
in the country. Adam held the post of Architect of the King's Works from 1761
to 1769.
Robert Adam was a leader of the first phase of the classical revival in
England and Scotland from around 1760 until his death.[2] He influenced the
development of Western architecture, both in Europe and in North America.
Adam designed interiors and fittings as well as houses.[3]
He served as the member of Parliament for Kinross-shire from 1768–74.[4]
