Greek-inspired architecture in England is exemplified by such constructions as the Bank of England rotunda (1796) by Sir John Soane and the British Museum portico (1823-1847) by Sir Robert Smirke.
The Greek Revival was modified by the Regency style, notable architectural examples of which are the facades designed by John Nash for Regent Street (begun 1812) in London and his Royal Pavilion at Brighton (1815-1823).

 Brighton's Architecture::Profiles::Amon and Amon Henry Wilds
Amon Henry’s legacy was no less than his father’s: as well as producing grand architectural schemes, he also designed the Victoria Fountain in the Steine, as well as the western extension and tombs in St Nicholas churchyard; he also turned his hand to.
As far as their architectural record is concerned it is consequently very difficult to disentangle the joint work of the partnership from that executed by its individual members….” This as much, if not more, applies to disentangling the work of father from son, as it does to separating Busby from either Wilds.
Considering the considerable architectural legacy he left, his grave in Shoreham is neglected and unadorned, unlike his father’s in St Nicholas Churchyard, Brighton with its decorative mouldings.

Architecture, like all other institutionalized disciplines, was affected by these new political realities.
Not only were European styles invading the cities of the Orient and shaping their outlook and the tastes of their inhabitants, but also European and European-trained designers became the masters of the building trades everywhere.
Consequently, hybrid styles were produced that borrowed freely from the varied repertoires of non-Western architectures, and blended them with various European structural, constructional, functional, and stylistic inventions.

 Australian architecture - Australia's Culture Portal
Distinctive Australian architecture is also recognisable in the rural icons of 'the Queenslander', the 'wool shed' and the 'beach house' which have developed in response to climate, history, place and identity.
Australian architects like Boyd and Roy Grounds have argued for the importance of modern Australian architecture as an expression of a local identity which balanced the ideals of art and architecture against local climate and social realities.
Early Australian residential architecture was a response to the Australian landscape and the climate with its unique flora and fauna, intense sunlight and dappled shadows.

From 1682, when King Louis XIV moved from Paris, until the royal family was forced to return to the capital in 1789, the Court of Versailles was the centre of power in Ancien Régime France.
This led to a certain incongruity in the architecture, as the centrepiece of the palace is not in scale with its final dimensions.
Versailles is a key example of baroque palace architecture, and many of the finest craftsmen in Europe worked it for many years.

 The Architecture of Armagh Observatory
To understand and appreciate its architectural features it is necessary to know something of the types of building constructed for making astronomical observations in the 18th century in other parts of Europe.
To the south of the East Dome, at some distance from the main Observatory building, are two low-lying domes, one of which houses the Robinson Memorial Telescope, built in 1885 by Grubb and the other an 18 inch Calver telescope that was later converted into a Schmidt telescope for celestial photography.

 Monastic Art and Architecture
Western monastic art and architecture, as widespread and various as Christianity, takes its special character from the aspirations of members of monastic religious communities who have turned their thoughts away from the world and dedicated themselves to living under a regula ("rule").
The architectural implications of the Rule of Saint Benedict are perhaps most fully spelled out in the ideal plan of Saint Gall (c.820), Switzerland.
In fact, the greatest surviving examples of monastic art and architecture are directly related to the fabric of the church building and to the liturgical rites in it.

In the official lists in sections 6.2 - 6.10, an asterisk (*) next to a protocol denotes that it is new to this document or has been moved from one protocol level to another, or differs from the previous edition of this document.
While they may be proposed as a service protocol at a later stage, and thus become proposed standard, draft standard, and then standard protocols, the designation of a protocol as experimental may sometimes be meant to suggest that the protocol, although perhaps mature, is not intended for operational use.
Sometimes one protocol is replaced by another and thus becomes historic, or it may happen that a protocol on the standards track is in a sense overtaken by another protocol (or other events) and becomes historic (state 5).

 Japanese Architecture: Ryoanji temple, Kyoto
It is thought that the original design "borrowed" features from the distant landscape but that these views disappeared as the trees matured to the south of the garden.
In 1789, following a disastrous fire, the modest temple building was replaced by a much grander structure transferred from another site.
Probably all that can be safely said is that the garden is highly influenced by the ideals of the tea ceremony, in which honesty, rusticity, and understatement are held in esteem.

None of them were listed, but some of them had architectural values of their own and all of them contributed of course to the general townscape as it was one of the few remaining blocks of wooden houses.
The soaring tenement which arose in 1789 from its arcaded base in the Cowgate to become part of a unified South Bridge frontage was a component in a planned scheme first envisaged by Robert Adam, and relates to his Old College nearby.
It was fine to talk of "the contemporary" as opposed to "the historic" in architecture in the 1980s, but surely we have moved on now, to a more mature understanding of the limitations of such terms”.
