 A History of Superior Court Architecture in Massachusetts   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Typical of Bulfinch's architecture, the spring-points and keystones of the arches, as well as the string course and window lintels and sills, were of white marble in crisp contrast to the red brick walls.
The discovery that architecture had the power to evoke distant times or places-times of immense appeal because of their mystery or self-assuredness-led to a new emotional way of making and thinking about buildings which was abetted by unparalleled technological prowess for manufacturing new building materials (terra cotta, cast iron, and plate glass, for example).
Victorian architecture came to be regarded as excessively fussy and naive, drowned in a sea of misguided invention, perversion of materials, and cloying picturesqueness.

Although the architectural creations of the age were thus mainly concentrated in private building undertakings in Copenhagen, for instance Niels Juels Palæ near Kongens Nytorv (1696), building work was still going on in other parts of the country.
Greek Antique architecture was the object of considerable interest at this time, and it left its traces for instance in Harsdorff's colonnade (1794) between two of the Amalienborg palaces.
Architecturally speaking, Tinggården was built in a varied and informal mould, in which the elements of concrete were hidden behind unpretentious and familiar native materials such as wooden cladding and facing walls.

 AllRefer.com - William Thornton (Architecture, Biography) - Encyclopedia
Thornton's designs, submitted in 1793, were approved by President Washington, and their execution was entrusted to the supervision of E. Hallet and James Hoban.
In 1794, however, Thornton himself, being appointed a commissioner of the District of Columbia, became supervisor and remained in charge until 1802.
Despite important changes and additions, especially by Latrobe and Bullfinch, much of the design of the facade of the central portion of the Capitol is his.

 Brief Historical Background of the Department of Architecture
It is necessary to note that the Department of Architecture with Lviv Polytechnic is the oldest school of architecture in Ukraine, which functioned regularly; and is also one of the oldest continuously practicing architectural higher educational establishments, equal in status to the universities, in the Central Europe.
The campus, which became a well-known masterpiece of architecture, was designed by Yudian Zakharicvich, Ph.D. in Architecture, an outstanding architect and lecturer, who held the position of the Rector of Lviv Polytechnic for a long time.
After the Department of Architecture was reopened in the period from 1977 to 1991, it was headed by the Professor Anclriy Rudnytskiy, and since 1991 - by Bogdan Cherkes.

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).

 Shaker Architecture
Invariably, their accounts remark on the distinctive appearance of the settlements: the number and quality of the buildings, the neat and clean look of the landscape, the air of prosperity about the community, the sense that Shaker villages are unmistakably different from the homes of their rural neighbors.
The broad styles of Shaker architecture are not unique, nor are their building materials, nor their ways of working wood and cutting stone and forging metal.
Their clustering on the land, the way they relate to one another in function and scale, the consistency of aesthetic choices employed by Shaker craftsmen, all attest to that communal society of spiritual brethren and sisters devoted to creating an ideal life on earth.

 Freemasonic Symbolism and Georgian Gardens
The Vitruvian concept of the architect and the techniques and styles of architecture detailed by Vitruvius were held not only to be relevant to the education of architects but to be essential elements in the education of a gentleman.
The Temple was the greatest achievement of Architecture in ancient society, and so the preliminaries to a purification of society and a reconstruction of the last values of that ancient society were achievable by reconstructing the Temple.
As a result, architecture becomes expression of the "Inner Beauty" that is the Morality and Virtue of his creator: "..The beauty and effect of their art consists in representing moral truth (inward numbers) by means of harmonious symbols (outward numbers) (47)."

The British Architectural Library of the RIBA is the de facto national collection for architectural materials: books, drawings, manuscripts, photographs and objects relating to the practice and history of architecture.
During the 19th century, the burgeoning wealth of the industrial northern towns and cities was represented in stone by a series of extravagantly rich civic buildings, for which architects were selected by an often dubiously run competition.
The exhibition is sponsored by Taylor Woodrow Construction Ltd., the Architecture Unit of the Arts Council of England, Northern Arts, and the Teesside Branch of the RIBA, while assistance towards the catalogue has been provided by the Marc Fitch Fund and the Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art.

 University of Delaware. Suitable for Cultivation. Landscape Architecture
Landscape architecture and garden design--the artificial modification of the terrain--are among the most ancient of human endeavors, deriving from the desire to impose order and harmony upon the natural world.
To this day landscape gardening and design are employed for both private and public pleasure, from the modest suburban home to the vast aristocratic estate, and from the town square to city parks and greenbelts.
These parks were faithfully designed in accordance with principles formulated in the eighteenth century by British landscape naturalists, espoused in this country by Downing, and followed by the architects of public landscape spaces such as Frederick Law Olmstead, one of the most prolific of public park designers in this country.

 Prestwould, Clarksville vicinity, Virginia
The home features the central hall plan (though the central hall is divided into two rooms), the triangular pediment on the porches, and the dentil work frequently found in Federal homes in southern Virginia and northern North Carolina (see Similar Federal Homes in Southside Virginia and Northern North Carolina).
The house is missing the water table and brick belt characteristic of Georgian architecture; does not have dormer windows; and does not have a heavy cornice.
The interior of the home is perhaps best known for the examples of 18th and early 19th-century wallpaper examples (the house now features a mix of reproduction and original papers).
