Talk:Neoclassical architecture

message: The significance of Clérisseau in the formation of Neoclassical architecture can be regarded as slightly inflated. Some reference should be made to the significance of Jean-Laurent Le Geay.

message: Why this 
is called Neo-Classicism
and this 
is Indo-Saracenic?

replies: text: The Victoria Memorial is Classical but incorporates some Indian elements like onion domes. It could be argued that it belongs in both categories, but I think it lacks the "purity" associated with true neo-classical architecture. AFCR 11:16, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Can anybody answer 

message: This article only discusses US neoclassicism in the context of the American Renaissance, i.e. late 19th century.  All the neoclassical buildings raised in the late 18th & early 19th c are much more germane.  US Capitol, Massachusetts state house, Monticello, etc. etc.  Also it makes it sound like Latrobe (d 1820) is an early examplar of Am. Ren. (1880 on).  Does somebody want to get writing?

thread_title:  American Neoclassicism 

message: Since editors of this article seem unable to distinguish "classicizing", "neoclassical", "Baroque classicism", I've started some bare bones of a "Characteristics" section, which, since it is not yet a ventriloquist's display of quotations, will soon be tagged  by someone with nothing concrete to contribute.--Wetman (talk) 11:36, 5 February 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Characteristics

message: This section of the page is very informative and well organized. Your decision to give a brief overview of the neoclassic architecture in the United States, followed by more in-depth descriptions of each building that was inspired by classic buildings was easy to follow and understand. I was wondering why you think neoclassical architecture is more commonly found in Virginia and Washington, D.C. and not further west or why you decided to include only examples from the east coast if there is more neoclassical architecture in the western United States. Again, this was a very well-organized section and you did an excellent job of choosing what information to include in your piece. Well done. --Carolyngreene (talk) 18:32, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

message: Is there any support for reorganising this page to provide a better chronology? For example, true Palladian style (by Andrea Palladio) was over a century before the rather different neo-Palladian style of Colen Campbell etc. Regency style scarcely gets a mention. Also, the National Trends have a natural chronology.
Suggested headings, but improvements by wiser people than I are welcome!!
* Characteristics
** Exterior design
** Interior design
* Palladian (restricting discussion to 16th century, Palladio etc)
* Neo-Classical (17th century, Inigo Jones etc)
* Neo-Palladian (early 18th century, Campbell etc)
* Greek Revival (late 18th century, Stuart and Revett etc)
* National trends
** USA/Federal (late 18th - early 19th century, Adams, Bullfinch etc)
** France/Empire (19th century, Percier and Fontain etc)
** UK/Regency (19th century, Nash etc)
