The document discusses the Beaux Arts architectural style. It originated from French classicism, Roman architecture, and the Italian Renaissance and was influenced by Baroque and Rococo styles. Buildings in the Beaux Arts style commonly used light-colored stones and other materials and included characteristics like flat roofs, arched windows, and symmetrical design with classical architectural details including pilasters, balustrades, and sculptures. Examples given are the Paris Opera House and The Art Institute of Chicago.
