"In Europe, there has been a remarkable evolution in architectural design that challenged conventional construction techniques while still embracing popular preferences and architectural heritage. This transformative journey can be traced back to the Classical Era, which spanned from 850 BCE to CE 476. During this time, the magnificent structures of ancient Greece and Rome influenced and inspired the design and construction practices.Following the Classical Era, the Byzantine period emerged from 527 to 565 CE, serving as a bridge between the Eastern and Western architectural traditions in sacred buildings. This era saw the construction of domes and the elevation of buildings to unprecedented heights, showcasing the fusion of different influences.Around the 9th century CE, Romanesque architecture emerged as Rome's influence expanded across Europe. This architectural style featured rounded arches, cross floor plans, higher altars, towers, and domed apses. It represented a departure from earlier architectural styles and contributed to the soaring of cathedrals and other large structures.In the early 12th century, Gothic architecture took hold in France, propelling buildings to even greater heights. This period witnessed numerous architectural innovations such as flying buttresses, ribbed vaults, stained glass windows, and gargoyles. Gothic architecture marked a significant departure from the preceding Romanesque style and introduced a more elaborate and intricate aesthetic. As the Renaissance unfolded, architects in Europe gradually moved away from the opulent Baroque style that catered to the tastes of the ruling class. Instead, they embraced Neoclassical approaches, which gained popularity in the 18th century. This shift in architectural style reflected the intellectual awareness of the middle and upper classes and aligned with the broader intellectual and philosophical movement of the Enlightenment.This Illustrated Architecture book is a comprehensive resource.
