Architectural styles
|
|
Architectural style is a way of classifying architecture largely by
morphological characteristics in terms of form, techniques,
materials, etc. However it is not a holistic way of understanding
architectural works because of its emphasis on style.
It overlaps with, and emerges from the study of the evolution and
history of architecture, but it is slightly different in its
emphasis. While in architectural history, the study of, for
instance, Gothic architecture would include all the aspects of the
cultural context that went into the making of these structures,
architectural style is a way of classifying architecture that gives
emphasis to the characteristic features of Gothic architecture,
leading to a terminology such as Gothic "style". This could then
apply equally to buildings even produced during periods outside the
historic period of Gothic architecture. Thus one could build a
Gothic style church even today, irrespective of the historic period
from which the style emerged. |
