An architectural style with concepts and ideas was characterized chiefly by the synthesis of technology, craft, and design aesthetics; which emphasizes functional design. **Bauhaus** An architectural style that is derived from the principles of Greek and Roman architecture. **Classical** An architectural style that emphasizes the aesthetic use of basic building processes, especially cast-in-place concrete, with no apparent concern for visual amenity. **Brutalism** An architectural style that is prevalent in Spain and Morocco; influences were Mesopotamian brick and stucco techniques; frequent use of horseshoe arch, and Roman columns and capitals. **Moorish** An architectural style marked by geometric motifs, streamlined and curvilinear forms, sharply defined outlines, and often bold colors. **Art Deco** An architectural style that designs that grows and develops based on climatic and ecological elements, as well as advances in technology; is approached as a living organism as if natural forces had shaped the structure. **Evolutionary Architecture** An architectural style is the final phase of the Baroque; characterized by profuse, semi-abstract ornamentation; associated with lightness, swirling forms, flowing lines, ornate stucco work, and arabesque ornament. **Rococo** An architectural style is characterized by monumentality, strict use of the orders, and sparing application of ornament. **Neoclassicism** An architectural style where buildings were treated not only as functional structures but also as sculptural objects. **Expressionism** A particular or distinctive form of artistic expression characteristic of a person, people, or period. **Style** An architectural style that is "invisible" or"imaginary" architecture; it represents plans and drawings for buildings and cities that have never been constructed; pure research or speculation. **Conceptual Architecture** An architectural style that questions traditional assumptions and takes modernist abstraction to an extreme and exaggerates already known motifs. **Deconstructivism** An architectural style that is of functional architecture devoid of regional characteristics; characterized by simple geometric forms, large untextured, often white surfaces, large areas of glass, and general use of steel or reinforced concrete construction. **International Style** An architectural style is a reaction against international style and Modernism. encourages the use of elements from historical vernacular styles and often a playful illusion, decoration, and complexity. **Postmodernism** An architectural style of fine and applied art characterized by fluid, undulating motifs, often derived from natural forms. **Art Nouveau** An architectural style that is characterized by a delicate balance of forces, with thrusts directed throughout a rigid structural lattice. Its features were height and light, achieved through a mixture of skeletal structures and ever-increasing windows. **Gothic** An architectural style that emerged from Roman and Byzantine elements. Characterized by massive articulated wall structures, arches, and powerful vault. **Romanesque** An architectural style that is more ornate than the Renaissance style; deliberate in its attempt to impress, and was lavish of all styles, both in its use of materials and in the effects it achieves. **Baroque** An architectural style with the expression of personal freedom; harmony between structure and the environment; integration of individual parts to the whole concept; all forms should express the natural use of materials. **Organic Architecture** An architectural style that developed during the rebirth of classical art and learning in Europe. It is characterized using classical orders, round arches, and symmetrical proportions. **Renaissance**
