== <span style="color: #FFFFFF;">Remembering</span> == * '''Architecture''' β The art or practice of designing and constructing buildings. * '''Classical Architecture''' β Architecture derived from the principles of ancient Greece and Rome (e.g., columns and pediments). * '''The Three Orders''' β The styles of classical columns: Doric (simple), Ionic (scrolls), and Corinthian (leaves). * '''Gothic Architecture''' β A medieval style characterized by pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and flying buttresses. * '''Flying Buttress''' β An external support that allows for thinner walls and larger windows in Gothic cathedrals. * '''Renaissance Architecture''' β A style focused on symmetry, proportion, and the revival of classical elements. * '''Baroque Architecture''' β A highly ornate and dramatic style characterized by curved forms and elaborate decoration. * '''Modernism''' β A 20th-century movement focused on "Form follows Function," using industrial materials like steel and concrete. * '''Postmodernism''' β A reaction against modernism that reintroduces ornament, historical references, and "wit" into design. * '''Bauhaus''' β A German school of design that combined crafts and the fine arts, famous for its functional, industrial aesthetic. * '''Brutalism''' β A style characterized by raw, unfinished concrete and massive, geometric forms. * '''Palladianism''' β A style based on the designs of Andrea Palladio, emphasizing mathematical symmetry and classical logic. * '''Art Deco''' β A 1920s/30s style characterized by geometric patterns and luxury materials. * '''Vernacular Architecture''' β Architecture based on local needs, materials, and traditions rather than professional "styles." </div> <div style="background-color: #006400; color: #FFFFFF; padding: 20px; border-radius: 8px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
