 TYPES OF
NEOCLASSICAL
ARCHITECTURE
1. TEMPLE STYLE

renaissance as architects of that period focused
mainly on applying classical elements to
churches and modern buildings like palazzos and
villas.
Many temple style buildings feature a peristyle
(a continuous line of columns around a building),
a rare feature of renaissance architecture.

construction. Some of the buildings feature a balustrade which
is a railing with vertical supports along the edge of the roof.

There are vertical supports within a balustrade known as

“balusters” or “spindles”. It is also a classical method of
crowning a building that has a flat or low lying roof.
