Architectural style
Under style (also architectural style ) refers to a regionally or internationally significant style in architecture and civil engineering . It is the formal language typical of an architect , an architecture school or a historical epoch or region .
The most important classification of architectural styles is based on time periods in the context of certain rooms and cultures . This is closely or loosely related to other styles within art history , closely, for example, furniture styles , and less closely to those of painting and sculpture . The styles of clothing also play a role in the interior design and ornamentation . Due to the scope of the work, architectural styles naturally change slowly, hardly follow fast-paced fashions, and are often only widely used one or two generations after analog developments in other art branches, or they spread slowly. Successive styles also overlap for decades.
