in the mid-20th century it seemed that

classical architecture had become

Obsolete and said to be relegated to the
history books
modernism had emerged as the dominant
movement in architecture leading to
radical break with the past
in a world where form was to follow
function ornament was rejected and
historical Styles discarded as
irrelevant to Modern Life
but having almost disappeared completely
in the 20th century classical
architecture is back
0.32
as early as the 1960s a group of
0.35
Architects began to invoke the classical
0.36
tradition to critique the sterility of
0.39
modernism
0.40
ornamentations such as columns moldings
0.42
palasters and cornices began to be used
0.45
in unexpected ways in what became known
0.47
as post-modern architecture
0.50
the style became popular in the 80s and
0.52
90s and while most Architects merely
0.54
made references to the Past some were
0.57
designing classical buildings in a more
0.58
literal and Earnest way
1.01
there are reinterpretations of
1.03
classicism molded to fentanians of
1.05
Modern Life gave birth to what is known
1.07
as New or contemporary classical
1.09
architecture a movement emphasizing
1.12
dialogue with the past and
1.13
sustainability through long-lasting and
1.15
well-crafted buildings adapted to their
1.17
local contexts
1.19
despite its name the term doesn't only
1.22
refer to new buildings in the strictly
1.24
classical tradition derived from ancient
1.26
Greece and Rome but also encompasses
1.28
related Styles like Gothic or Art Deco
1.30
and other traditional architecture from
1.32
around the world
1.35
the movement has grown as classical
1.37
instruction was reintroduced in some
1.39
architecture schools and institutions as
1.41
well as prices were founded to promote
1.43
it
1.45
in this video I'd like to Showcase a
1.47
selection of notable buildings belonging
1.49
to this new wave of classical or
1.50
traditional architecture taken from
1.53
three different countries

2.16
Cambridge and was designed by architect

Quinlan Terry
2.20
dating back to the early years of the
2.22
19th century the college was originally
2.24
built according to Plans by William
2.26
Wilkins an architect who had personally
2.28
listed many ancient ruins in Greece and
2.31
used his scholarly knowledge of Athenian
2.33
architecture in this project
2.35
made of load-bearing Caton Stone the new
2.38
library pays homage to wilkins's vision
2.41
the powerful Doric protocol was inspired
2.43
by one of his unrealized designs as well
2.45
as the Gateway into the Roman Agora in
2.47
Athens and features a freeze filled with
2.50
a large-scale carved symbols of the
2.52
subjects taught and studied at the
2.53
college
2.55
the octagonal Tower surrounding the
2.57
library is derived from the Tower of the
2.58
Winds another agreed Athenian monument
3.00
and the door keys combines Greek design
3.03
with references to Michelangelo's
3.04
elegant work in the Medici Chapel in
3.06
Florence
3.09
apart from the library Terry also
3.11
designed at the Howard building for the
3.12

the gallery consists of a single-story
4.12
shop front two principal floors and an
4.14
attack
4.16
the Portland Stone facade has been
4.18
designed to incorporate the memory of
4.20
the two previous structures on the site
4.21
and although architectural detail is
4.24
simple the three bus reliefs by the
4.26
artist Alexander stoddart makes it clear
4.28
that this is a neoclassical building
4.31
this illustrate scenes from The Odyssey
4.33
chosen as an allegory for the
4.35
development of modern art from 1900 to

Nashville Tennessee is commonly known as
5.13
Music City having nurtured some of
5.15
America's greatest musicians
5.18
it's also been called the Athens of the
5.20
South because of the city's numerous
5.22
institutions of Higher Learning and its
5.24
many examples of classical architecture
5.25
including a full-scale replica of the
5.28
Parthenon
5.30
reinforcing this Legacy the Schermerhorn
5.32
Symphony Center was constructed from
5.34
2003 to 2006 to house the Nashville
5.37
Symphony and takes inspiration from the
5.39
great European concert Halls of the 19th
5.41
century
5.43
the building occupies an entire city
5.45
block in the SoBro neighborhood of
5.46
downtown Nashville and features a

Monumental ceremonial Portico facing a
5.51
pedestrian way as well as a colonnaded
5.53
formal garden with two flanking Wings
5.55
facing a park
5.58
while the structure reads us
5.59
neoclassical the detailing is largely a
6.02
modern reinterpretation of traditional
6.03
forms and doesn't strictly follow
6.05
historical models
6.08
the design of its interior rooms has
6.10
been Guided by the need to accommodate
6.11
modern standards of comfort and amenity
6.13
while maintaining a classically based
6.15
ceremonial progression of movement
6.17
through space
6.18
this progression culminates in the
6.21
building's most important space the 1800
6.24
seat Laura Turner concert hall
6.27
providing Vivid acoustical Clarity
6.29
warmth and reverberation the hall can
6.31
accommodate as many as 115 musicians and
6.35
is unusual for its integration of
6.36
natural light which streams into 30
6.39
soundproof Clara story windows
6.42
the hall can also be transformed from a
6.44
traditional ranked floor Auditorium to a
6.47
flat floor suitable for Cabaret style
6.48
seating and other uses compatible with a
6.51
ballroom
