Antiquity and Classicism
Classical architecture
Rigorous proportions, columns, pediments and symmetry drawn from ancient Greece and Rome.
Romanesque architecture
Barrel vaults, thick walls and round-headed arcades characteristic of early medieval Europe.
Gothic architecture
Pointed arches, flying buttresses and luminous verticality defining the great cathedrals of the western Middle Ages.
Byzantine architecture
Monumental domes, golden mosaics and the meeting point of Roman and Eastern heritage.
Renaissance and Baroque
Renaissance architecture
A return to antique proportions, harmony, pilasters and balanced façades of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries.
Baroque architecture
Dynamic forms, exuberant ornamentation and dramatic interplay of light and shadow in service of power and the sacred.
Rococo architecture
Lightness, asymmetric curves and refined ornament characteristic of eighteenth-century European aristocracy.
Neoclassical architecture
Antique-inspired restraint, Doric columns and pure lines conceived as a response to Baroque excess.
The Modern Era
Art Nouveau architecture
Organic lines, floral motifs and industrial materials at the turn of the twentieth century.
Art Deco architecture
Ornamental geometry, luxurious materials and vertical ambition defining the 1920s and 1930s.
Modernist architecture
Functionality, concrete, steel and glass in service of a twentieth-century utopia.
Brutalist architecture
Exposed raw concrete, imposing masses and honest materiality free from ornamentation.
International Style
A universal aesthetic of glass curtain walls, visible structure and the absence of regional decoration.
Contemporary architecture
Postmodern architecture
Irony, historical references and a break from modernist orthodoxy beginning in the 1970s.
Deconstructivist architecture
Fragmented geometries, twisted forms and a deliberate challenge to visual stability.
Contemporary architecture
Formal diversity, hybrid materials and a direct response to the demands of the present-day city.
Minimalist architecture
Total purity, a neutral palette and spaces in which every element is justified by necessity alone.
Parametric architecture
Complex forms generated by algorithms, fluid curves and bespoke structures shaped by digital computation.
Regional and vernacular architectures
Vernacular architecture
Buildings rooted in local resources, climate and the accumulated knowledge of traditional craftsmanship.
Mediterranean architecture
Whitewashed renders, shaded courtyards and stone materials under a generous sun.
Scandinavian architecture
Understated functionality, warm timber and a sensitive dialogue with Nordic light.
Japanese architecture
Modularity, inhabited emptiness, timber construction and a profound harmony between interior and nature.
Tropical architecture
Ventilated roof structures, local materials and bioclimatic design conceived for heat and humidity.
