ARTS--NEOCLASSICAL ART

Classical Block Style

*blank* buildings feature a rectangular or square plan, with a flat roof and an exterior rich in classical detail. The exterior features a repeated classical pattern or series of arches or columns. The overall impression of such a building was a huge, classically-decorated rectangular block. Classical block aesthetic was also known as the "Beaux-Arts style" since it was developed principally by the French École des Beaux-Arts (School of Fine Arts). Classical block architecture also flourished in the United States, particularly in New York.

Palladian-Style Architecture

*blank* buildings were based on Andrea Palladio's style of villa construction. Some of the buildings feature a balustrade which is a railing with vertical supports along the edge of the roof.

Temple-Style Architecture

*blank* style building design was based on an ancient temple. These buildings were uncommon during the Renaissance as architects of that period focused mainly on applying classical elements to churches and modern buildings like Palazzos and Villas. Many temple-style buildings feature a Peristyle(a continuous line of columns around the building), a rare feature of Renaissance architecture.
