| | WBDG: Aesthetics |
 | | Originating from the Greek, aesthetics is the term used since classical times for the study of beauty and the nature of the beautiful. |
 | | In the second half of the 19th Century, poets, writers, designers, and architects began to turn again to aesthetic concerns and to place more emphasis on ornament and the past, the result being the Aesthetic Movement and a new freedom in design. |
 | | Additionally the aesthetic architectural language or architectural expression selected by the architect, design professionals, or client will vary with consideration of context and program, the constructional means selected for the building or project, and personal or cultural inclination. |
