New Classical architecture

<p>New Classical architecture, also known as New Classicism or Contemporary Classical architecture, is a <a href="/facts/Contemporary_architecture/waUyS4DF">contemporary</a> movement that builds upon the principles of <a href="/facts/Classical_architecture/wKTDW6sm">Classical architecture</a>. It is sometimes considered the modern continuation of <a href="/facts/Neoclassical_architecture/tKdIuJwx">Neoclassical architecture</a>, even though other styles might be cited as well, such as <a href="/facts/Gothic_architecture/uhvWpQ2r">Gothic</a>, <a href="/facts/Baroque_architecture/l9QT8K91">Baroque</a>, <a href="/facts/Renaissance_architecture/pxUu6e8w">Renaissance</a> or even non-<a href="/facts/Western_culture/rPbgAhzI">Western</a> styles – often referenced and recreated from a <a href="/facts/Postmodern_architecture/U1ouBsd5">postmodern</a> perspective rather than as strict <a href="/facts/Revivalism_(architecture)/B6Tjhbl0">revivals</a>.
</p><p>The design and construction of buildings in evolving classical styles continued throughout the 20th and 21st centuries, even as <a href="/facts/Modern_architecture/T3F1gFrv">modernist</a> and other non-classical theories broke with the classical language of architecture. The New Classical movement is also tied to a resurgence in new traditional architecture, which emphasizes craftsmanship rooted in local building traditions and materials.
