Mills' first major contribution to Charleston architecture was the design of the Circular Congregational Church, built in 1804-06, which was the first Pantheon-like church in America.
The style was derived from earlier medieval church architecture, before the rise of the Gothic, and is distinguished from the latter mainly in the use of round, rather than pointed, arches.

Both architects developed architectural theories regarding the universal origins of architecture in an attempt to establish order as well as transcend the emerging historicism of the early nineteenth century.
There are strong parallels between Soane's use of architectural narrative and his discussion of architectural ‘model’ in relation to Gandy's understanding of ‘trans-historical’ architecture.
I argue that this is the architectural project through which Soane and Gandy's common interest in universal symbolism was made manifest, as evidenced by the design and presentation drawings held at the Soane Museum and the Victoria and Albert Museum.

 Munich : In Depth : Architecture | Frommers.com
As characterized by art historian Helen Gardner, baroque architecture was "spacious and dynamic, brilliant and colorful, theatrical and passionate, sensual and ecstatic, opulent and extravagant, versatile and virtuoso." This period saw the merging of painting, sculpture, and architecture into an integrated whole.

By 1935, the so-called "Third Reich" style of architecture was the law of the land, with Munich (site of most of Hitler's earliest successes) providing the experimental background for many of its ideas.

 Neoclassicism in Britain: the Adam brothers and 'Athenian Stuart' - Ralph Harrington
From the early years of the century, Palladianism had been dominant, extolled as the perfect, universal architectural style; but the years from 1740 to 1760, a period of instability in politics, aesthetics, and ideas, also saw dynamic change and experimentation in architecture.
In France, the discovery of ancient Greece was an established part of the neoclassical ideal; Laugier wrote in 1753 that 'architecture owes all that is perfect in it to the Greeks,' and that the Romans were capable merely of 'admiring, and...
The Adams were determined to succeed in the newly professional business of architecture, and used their study of Diocletian's palace and the later Works of Robert and James Adam as manifestos and advertisements for their work in way in which Stuart signally failed to exploit The Antiquties of Athens.

This class will explore the way that theory is produced and deployed at every level of architectural discourse from formal written arguments to the seemingly casual discussions in the design studio.

How and why these various institutions were put in place will be established and then their historical transformations up until the present will be traced to see which claims about architecture have been preserved and which have changed.
