	SDescription of architectural styles
		Like the historic styles, it is a reinterpretation of the Gothic style architecture which began in Europe in the middle of the 12th century and continued until the beginning of the 16th century.
		The Gothic style was mainly developed in France, Germany and England with its principal characteristics being the buttresses, the flying-buttresses and the pointed arched windows.
		An architectural composition in the beaux-arts style is based on three principles: the congruity of the plans, the balance of proportion, and a style which has to reflect just what the building is for and its importance in the milieu.
