	Architecture
		The terms which we often use to describe "colonial architecture" such as: "Salt Box", "Cape Cod", and "2 story Colonial" and which we see in real estate ads are not house styles but, refer to the shape of the body of the building.
		In fact, the range of our architecture is broad, of many styles and periods, eclectic, and as several owners lived in the same house, maintained and "updated" it, many changes over the years on a given house have enhanced the appearance of the house and maintained the integrity of the original style or did not.

	Edelweiss Media: Architecture
		Architecture can be defined in at least four ways, all valid, but none truly satisfactory.
		Architecture embraces functional, technological, and aesthetic requirements: it may have utilitarian qualities, structural stability and sound construction, and attractive appearance.
		Architecture is most readily grasped by studying its development in successive historical periods, noting the general characteristic of each, the development of building techniques from one era to the next as well as from one culture to the next, and noting the evolution of each successive architectural style.

	Greek Architecture
		Callicrates and Ictinus' attitude toward religious architecture ceased to be that of the superstitious priest-architect held subject to unvaryingly precise (and often hypnotically elaborate) repetition of prescribed forms and became instead that of the artist rationalist--adjusting, refining, and simplifying forms to make them quietly effective and satisfying to the eye.
		Greek architecture suddenly became that of this rich, powerful Hellenic empire and was forced to break out of the fixed, small-scale vocabulary of forms that had been satisfactory for the Periclean temple.
		This was no longer an architecture of detail and refinement but one of massive (if simple) construction and political show.

		Becher (4-8) briefly discusses the scientific nature of Whewell's architectural writings and their relationship to his views on other subjects; Schaffer (215-17) sketches the religious and political interests that these architectural writings were meant to serve.
		Since the three editions of Whewell's major architectural work, Architectural Notes on German Churches, appeared in 1830, 1835, and 1842, a celebration of Whewell's place in the science and culture of the 1830s, a crucial decade for the Gothic Revival, presents an opportune moment for pursuing this aspect of his thought in greater detail.
		For Ruskin, the "corruption" of Gothic architecture was connected to "the peculiar degradation of the Romanist superstition, and of public morality in consequence" (9:44).

	The architecture of Joseph Michael Gandy (1771--1843) and Sir John Soane (1753--1837): An exploration into the Masonic ...
		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.
