 Renaisance Architecture in Wales
Classical architecture differed in some significant ways from that of the Gothic style which was popular in the middle ages.
However, the new interest in classical architecture which had taken such a hold of the Italians, was rather slow in taking ground in the rest of Europe.
Neither was the architectural styles of the medieval period entirely inferior to that of the Renaissance.

 Baroque and Rococo (from Western architecture) --  Encyclopædia Britannica
It is characterized by lightness, daintiness, grace, elegance, and an excessive use of curving, natural forms in ornamentation.
The practice of architecture is employed to fulfill both practical and expressive requirements of civilized people and thus embraces both utilitarian and aesthetic ends.
Out of the Arts and Crafts tradition in design, which emphasized simplicity and handmade objects, grew an architecture that was well suited to an emergent middle class of self-made businessmen and their families living in the midwestern United States.

 Fractal Architecture by Michael Ostwald for the Nexus Network Journal vol.3 no.1 Winter 2001   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
This paper focuses primarily on architectural appropriations of fractal geometry to briefly describe more than twenty years of "fractal architecture" and to identify key trends or shifts in the development, acceptance and rejection of this concept.
When in 1995 Charles Jencks belatedly published a polemical call for architecture to model a new, cosmogenic or fractalesque aesthetic, (a position that he had developed from his study of the sciences of complexity) the critics were sufficiently forewarned that they were able to respond with a flurry of damning reviews.
That is, few architects have discussed the way in which architecture is used by scientists and mathematicians working in the sciences of complexity and conversely, even fewer scientists or mathematicians have noted the way in which architects borrow scientific or geometric theories from complexity.

 About Emerson Baker
Having its origins in prehistoric times, the earthfast architectural practices employed in the Americas in the seventeenth century were directly descended from English peasant homes of the High Middle Ages.
Despite their brief life span, semi-subterranean homes are important artifacts for they indicate that primitive methods of construction, largely extinct in seventeenth-century England, were drawn upon throughout the English colonies when dictated by necessity.
If semi-subterranean houses can be found in the architectural record of both the Chesapeake and Maine, perhaps it is not surprising to find other forms of earthfast buildings in both regions.

 VLDB 1978: 442-449
Distributed data base systems can take on various architectures that pose different requirements and have both logical and performance implications for the application.
There is thus an interplay between choice of architecture and application specification.
However, it has been argued that since the application need is often defined first, even before the decision to use a distributed approach is made, it should be possible for the application to be specified independently of the architecture, provided that an architecture - independent application definition scheme for distributed data base systems is available.
