  Tudorbethan   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
The Tudorbethan Revival which manifested itself in domestic architecture in the 20th century was a reaction to the Victorian ornate Gothic of the second half of the 19th century.
Tudorbethan became popular in the inter-war periods of the 1920s and 1930s and again in a modified version in the 1970s and 1980s.
Tudorbethan has not always been popular with modern architects and is still reviled at times as a type of pastiche or indeed non-architecture, but despite this it is preferred by some would-be homeowners over more modern styles.

 Architectural style - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Architectural style is a way of classifying architecture largely by morphological characteristics - in terms of form, techniques, materials, etc. However, this is not a holistic way of understanding architectural works because of the emphasis on the details of style.

 Neo-Byzantine architecture - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Neo-Byzantine architecture is an architectural revival style, of the mid- to late 19th and early 20th centuries, most frequently seen in religious, institutional and public buildings.
Neo-Byzantine architecture incorporates elements of the Byzantine style associated with Eastern and Orthodox Christian architecture dating from the 5th through 11th centuries, notably that of Byzantium (Constantinople, or modern-day Istanbul).
The style is characterized by round arches, vaults and domes, brick and stucco surfaces, symbolic ornamentation, and the use of decorative mosaics.

 Tudor style architecture - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Tudor style in English architecture is the final development of medieval architecture during the Tudor period (1485–1603) and even beyond, for conservative college patrons.
Nevertheless, "Tudor style" is an awkward style-designation, with its implied suggestions of continuity through the period of the Tudor dynasty and the misleading impression that there was a style break at the accession of Stuart James I in 1603.
In the 19th century a free mix of these late Gothic elements and Elizabethan were combined for hotels and railway stations, in revival styles known as Jacobethan and Tudorbethan.

 Gothic Revival architecture   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Gothic architecture did not die out completely in the 15th century, but instead lingered on in on-going cathedral-building projects and the construction of churches in increasingly isolated rural districts of England, France, Spain and Germany.
Similarly, Gothic architecture survived in an urban setting during the later 17th century, as shown in Oxford and Cambridge, where some additions and repairs to Gothic buildings were apparently considered to be more in keeping with the style of the original structures than contemporary Baroque.
The "Gothick" style was an architectural manifestation of the artificial "picturesque" seen elsewhere in the arts: these ornamental temples and summer-houses ignored the structural logic of true Gothic buildings and were effectively Palladian buildings with pointed arches.

 Italianate architecture   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
In the course of the history of Classical architecture, an Italianate style of architecture was a distinct nineteenth-century phase, in which Italian sixteenth-century models and architectural vocabulary, which had served as inspiration for both Palladianism and Neoclassicism, were now synthesized with picturesque aesthetics, to create an architecture that was also characterized as "Neo-Renaissance".
Motifs drawn from the Italianate style were incorporated into the commercial builders' vocabulary, and appear in Victorian architecture dating from the mid to late 1800s.
The Italianate style of architecture continued to be built in outposts of the British Empire long after it had ceased to be in fashion n Britain itself.

 St. Paul's School: Ohrstrom Library   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Vaughan was a man of deep religious conviction, an ascetic lifelong bachelor totally devoted to the Anglican and Episcopalian worship and to the English Gothic architecture he regarded as their true and proper architectural expression.
From the point of view of the school's fictive architectural history, the new Upper filled in the gap between the high Gothic of the chapel and the early Georgian of the Lower School.
Even though his library proposal was not accepted, Vaughan's architectural vision--the vocabulary of the English Gothic and early Georgian as well as the planning ideal of the quadrangle--became the fundamental point of reference for almost all that was to follow, with one no doubt painful exception.

 Illuminati Symbolism Rife in Prince Charles' Pet Village
The prince, who has put his name to the development of new homes and an enterprise centre, said he wanted to see a departure from the 'terrible' architecture of most modern housing and that Poundbury would be in sharp contrast to the Sixties idea of stuffing people in tower blocks.
Maxwell Hutchinson, an architect and former president of the Royal Institute of Architecture, said he was surprised by the conservatism implied by the report's backing of Poundbury.
Among the town’s most successful features is the architectural mix achieved by a well thought out set of guidelines that allowed for variation and contrast.
