10. Neoclassical Architecture • In the mid 18th century, the aims of architecture altered to embrace the complex philosophical concerns of the Enlightenment. • The result was a series of styles and sub-styles referred to as “neoclassical” • Neoclassicism was a new way of examining the past: rather than seeing the past as a single, continuous cultural flow broken by a medieval collapse of classical values, it was viewed as a series of separate compartments • Antiquity, the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, etc.

11. Neoclassical Architecture • Three important approaches emerged. • The history approach - saw the present as continually enriched by persistent inquiry into the past • The eclectic approach – saw the artist as someone who could choose among styles, or combine elements of various styles • The modernist approach – viewed the present as unique and capable of expression in its own terms • Each profoundly influenced 18th century architecture

12. Neoclassical Architecture • The revival of classicism in architecture was seen in many quarters as a revolt against the frivolity of the rococo

13. Architecture in America • Neoclassicism had special meaning, as the colonies struggled to rid themselves of the monarchial rule of George III of England • The designs of colonial architect Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826) reflect the ideas of this period • The 3rd president and author of the Declaration of Independence

14. Thomas Jefferson • Jefferson looked at architecture objectively, within the framework of contemporary thought • Strongly influenced by Lockean ideas of natural law, Jefferson believed that the architecture of antiquity embodied natural principles
