Neoclassical architectural style
Improve classical style
The design style of neoclassicism is actually an improved classical style. On the one hand, it retains the general style of materials and colors, and still strongly feels the traditional historical traces and rich cultural heritage. At the same time, it abandons the overly complicated texture and decoration and simplifies the lines.

brief introduction
Neoclassical architecture simplifies classical complex carvings and combines them with modern materials to present a new classic minimalist style, which is a diversified way of thinking. The combination of nostalgic romantic feelings and modern people's needs for life is compatible with luxury, elegance and fashion, which embodies the personalized aesthetic concept and cultural taste in the post-industrial era.
Color development method
In the history of western architecture, there have been two neoclassical architectural phenomena. From the second half of18th century to the end of19th century (1750 ~1899); The other time was from the 1950s to the present.
From 18 to 19, a classical Renaissance architectural style was popular in some European and American countries. At that time, people were influenced by the Enlightenment thought, and a large number of architectural art treasures of ancient Greece and Rome were unearthed in archaeology, which created conditions for the reference of this thought. This architectural style is mainly used in public buildings such as courts, banks, exchanges, museums, theaters and some memorial buildings, and has little influence on ordinary houses, churches and schools.
France was the center of European neoclassical architectural activities at the end of 18 and the beginning of 19. The Pantheon built in Paris during the French Revolution is a typical classical building. Many monumental buildings were built in Paris in the Napoleonic era, among which the Arc de Triomphe and Madeleine Church were all the refuges of the ancient Roman architectural style.
Britain mainly revives Greek architecture, such as the British Museum in London. The Brandenburg Gate in Berlin, Germany, and the Berlin Palace Theatre both revived Greek architectural forms. Among them, the Brandenburg Gate was built in imitation of the acropolis Gate. Before American independence, the architectural style was mostly European. After the independence of the United States, the classical architecture of Greece and Rome showed democracy, freedom, glory and independence, so neoclassical architecture prevailed. The U.S. Capitol is modeled after the Pantheon in Paris, showing its grandeur and emphasizing its commemoration. The Lincoln Memorial in Washington fully embodies the architectural form of Greece, which is outstanding in other memorial buildings and public buildings.
In China, there are also two so-called neoclassicism waves, one is the first neoclassicism buildings that appeared with the cultural colonization imposed by colonialism from the end of 19 to the beginning of the 20th century. Various colonial buildings had a profound influence on the architecture of China, especially the coastal cities of China, and reached its peak in 1930s. Such as Tianjin, Shanghai, Dalian, Harbin, Qingdao, Guangzhou, Shenyang and other cities, these western classical styles have even become the "context" of these cities.
design style
The design style of neoclassicism is actually an improved classical style. Looking at all the design concepts and styles, it is nothing more than an attitude towards life. When designing a classical style suitable for modern people to live in, with strong functionality and beautiful scenery for the owners, whether they can keenly grasp the needs of customers actually puts forward higher requirements for designers. Whether it is furniture or accessories, it depicts the elegant and noble identity of the room owner with its elegant and aesthetic posture and peaceful and connotative charm. Common fireplaces, crystal palace lanterns and ancient Roman columns are also the crowning touch of neoclassical style.
Elegance and harmony are synonymous with neoclassical style. White, gold, yellow and crimson are common main colors in European style. A small amount of white fusion makes the colors look bright and generous, and makes the whole space open and inclusive, which makes people feel embarrassed at all.
There are also articles about the combination of neoclassical lamps and other household elements. In the bedroom, neoclassical lamps can be matched with a rococo dresser, a classical lace curtain at the bedside, and one or two classical decorations, such as little love god Cupid or a baroque oil painting, can make people feel classical elegance and grace. Nowadays, some people put European classical furniture and Chinese classical furniture together, combining Chinese and western, so that the introversion of the East is integrated with the romance of the West, and there is also a sense of dignity.
Neoclassical style is more like a diversified way of thinking, which combines nostalgic romantic feelings with modern people's needs for life, is compatible with luxury, elegance and fashion, and embodies the personalized aesthetic and cultural taste in the post-industrial era.
If modern architecture creates a technical beauty in the industrial age, then neoclassical architecture creates a heavy formal beauty rooted in the post-industrial age. In modernist architecture, what we see is an industrial rationality that transcends historical time and space, and a desperate non-cultural commercial motive; On the other hand, neoclassical architecture shows a sense of history and cultural depth. In this kind of building, you can see something heavy-a cultural implication. Just like a beautiful poem full of rich allusions and historical metaphors, neoclassical architecture creates a synthesis of meaning and a three-dimensional aesthetic synthesis between its surface form and cultural implication. You can praise its profundity, you can also criticize its quaint, you can also attack its grotesque, but you can't deny its profound cultural significance.
design feature
The rich artistic connotation, open and innovative design concept and noble appearance of European culture have always been loved and pursued by everyone. Neoclassical style from simple to complex, from whole to part, elaborately crafted, inlaid with gold and carved with flowers, giving people a meticulous impression. On the one hand, it retains the general style of materials and colors, and still strongly feels the traditional historical traces and rich cultural heritage. At the same time, it abandons the overly complicated texture and decoration and simplifies the lines.
First, pay attention to style. In modeling design, it is not antique retro, but the pursuit of spirit likeness.
Second, the use of modern materials and processing technology, the pursuit of traditional style of large outline characteristics.
Third, simplify the historical style.
Fourth, pay attention to the decorative effect, and use indoor furnishings for artworks. In order to enhance the characteristics of historical context, we often copy ancient facilities, furniture and furnishings to compare the indoor environment.
5. White, gold, yellow and dark red are common main colors in European style. Mixing a small amount of white makes the colors look bright.
Decorative features
One is gorgeous and rich colors. Figure 1(Lcos Pegase Winery, California, 1988), Italian Plaza in Bofil, swimming pool and sauna dressing room in Moore (California, 1967, Klotz, 160), Venturi, Dixwell Fire Department in New Haven, John Lodge (65438) 158), Venturi, Basco Supermarket in John Lodge and Scott Brown (Philadelphia, 1976, Klotz, especially Basco Supermarket and Best Supermarket designed by Venturi, etc., or decorate the storefront with huge colored letters.

The second is to abstract classical elements into symbols, which can be used as decoration and metaphor in architecture. For example, some works by philip johnson, Venturi, Greaves and Yamazaki, such as classical columns, arches, and even mountain flowers and line feet, have largely established the contextual connection between history and reality, architecture and environment, and produced rhetorical effects.
The third is the contrast between coarse and fine, elegant and vulgar. In the works of many neoclassical architects, we can clearly see that on the one hand, there are elegant and exquisite details, on the other hand, there are vulgar and rough simplicity, and the two contrasting styles are both opposite and unified. Venturi's works mainly provide us with a beautiful chaos; Some of Stern's works provide us with examples of the perfect combination of simplicity and elegance.
