Neoclassical ArchitectureIn the mid 18th century, the aims of architecture altered to embrace

the complex philosophical concerns of the Enlightenment.

The result was a series of styles and sub-styles referred to as “neoclassical”

Neoclassicism was a new way of examining the past: rather than seeing the past as a single, continuous cultural flow broken by a medieval collapse of classical values, it was viewed as a series of separate compartmentsAntiquity, the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, etc.

Neoclassical ArchitectureThree important approaches emerged.

The history approach - saw the present as continually enriched by persistent inquiry into the past

The eclectic approach – saw the artist as someone who could choose among styles, or combine elements of various styles

The modernist approach – viewed the present as unique and capable of expression in its own terms

Each profoundly influenced 18th century architecture

Neoclassical ArchitectureThe revival of classicism in architecture was seen in many

quarters as a revolt against the frivolity of the rococo

Architecture in AmericaNeoclassicism had special meaning, as the colonies struggled

to rid themselves of the monarchial rule of George III of England

The designs of colonial architect Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826) reflect the ideas of this periodThe 3rd president and author of the Declaration of Independence

Thomas JeffersonJefferson looked at architecture objectively, within the

framework of contemporary thought

Strongly influenced by Lockean ideas of natural law, Jefferson believed that the architecture of antiquity embodied natural principles
