Neoclassical Architecture In the mid 18 th century, the aims of architecture altered to embrace the complex philosophical concerns of the Enlightenment. The result was a series of styles and sub-styles referred to as “neoclassical” Neoclassicism was a new way of examining the past: rather than seeing the past as a single, continuous cultural flow broken by a medieval collapse of classical values, it was viewed as a series of separate compartments Antiquity, the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, etc.

Neoclassical Architecture Three important approaches emerged. The history approach - saw the present as continually enriched by persistent inquiry into the past The eclectic approach – saw the artist as someone who could choose among styles, or combine elements of various styles The modernist approach – viewed the present as unique and capable of expression in its own terms Each profoundly influenced 18 th century architecture

Neoclassical Architecture The revival of classicism in architecture was seen in many quarters as a revolt against the frivolity of the rococo
