Architectural style - Rococo features Rococo architectural style, produced in France in the 18th century 20s and popular in Europe, is developed on the basis of Baroque architecture, mainly in the interior decoration. The basic characteristics of Rococo style are delicate and charming, gorgeous and exquisite, sweet and gentle, complicated and trivial. It takes the decline of European feudal aristocratic culture as the background, and expresses the decadent, flamboyant aesthetic ideals and ideological mood of the declining aristocracy. They could not stand the seriousness and rationality of classicism and the hustle and bustle of baroque, and pursued flamboyance and idleness. The term rococo evolved from the French word rocaille, which originally meant a kind of shell-shaped pattern in architectural decoration. 1699 architect and decorative artist Marlette used this curved shell pattern in the decorative design of the King's residence, which gave it its name. Rococo style first appeared in the interior decoration of buildings, and later expanded to painting, sculpture, handicrafts and literature. Rococo architectural style is characterized by: the interior application of bright colors and slim decorations, furniture is also very delicate and on the cumbersome, unlike the Baroque style of strong colors, decorative and colorful. The interiors of Rococo buildings in southern Germany and Austria appear to be very complex. Rococo decoration is characterized by: delicate and feminine, often using asymmetrical techniques, like to use arcs and S-shaped lines, especially love to use shells, whirlpools, rocks as a decorative theme, rolled grass, Shu Hua, tangled and coiled, connected into one. The ceiling and walls are sometimes connected by curved surfaces, and frescoes are arranged at the corners. In order to imitate the natural form, indoor building components are often made into asymmetrical shapes, varied, but sometimes flow in the artifice. Indoor wall painting, love with soft green, pink, rose red and other bright light colors, most of the line with gold. Indoor siding sometimes with wooden boards, sometimes made of delicate frame, frame around a circle of lace, often lined with light-colored Oriental brocade in the middle. Rococo style reflects the French Louis XV era court aristocracy's interest in life, the pursuit of slim, exquisite and flashy, complicated, also known as "Louis XV style", once popular in Europe. Rococo style decorations are mostly made of natural themes for curves, such as swirls, waves and rounded bodies; colors are delicate, shiny and sparkling, ivory and gold are its popular colors; often use glass mirrors, crystal lamps to strengthen the effect. The masterpieces of Rococo style decoration are the Prince's Salon in the Chateau de Chantilly (1722, designed by Jean Aubert), the Salon of the H?tel de Soubise in Paris (1732, designed by Germain Boffrand) and the Sans-Souci Palace in Potsdam, Germany. And the masterpieces of this architectural style are the Salon of the Princess at the H?tel de Soubise in Paris and the Queen's apartments at Versailles. The advocate of the Rococo style was Madame de Pompadour, who was not only involved in military and diplomatic affairs, but also as a cultural "protector" of the artistic style of the time. Madame de Pompadour, formerly known as Jeanne-Antoinette Poisson, was born in Paris to a family of financial speculators, and was later made Marquise by Louis XV. In Mrs. Pompadour's advocacy, produced the Rococo art style, so that the 17th century the sun king shines under the magnificent weather carving style, by the 18th century this noblewoman delicate hand rubbing extra soft and charming. Rococo secular architectural art is characterized by light structure of the garden house, which increasingly crowded out the Baroque kind of majestic palace building. Here the individual was free to flourish undisturbed by the self-aggrandizing society of the court. Names such as the Palace of the Promenade or the View House, for example, are indicative of the private character of these mansions. Prince Eugene's Garden Palace is a rhythmically lively whole, consisting of seven symmetrically arranged pavilion-like buildings with folding compound-pitched roofs that pass gracefully and evenly from the center to the four corner domes. The single-storey main hall with its mountainous walls above has an almost middle-class comfort, while the two wide-spreading double-storey wings show the magnificence of their owners without the arrogance of princes and noblemen. The two single-storey buildings of moderate width are interspersed between the tower-like pavilions, whose majesty gives the whole building the character of a fortified castle - in short, extremely different architectural ideas, yet united in an elegant inner connection. It is this careless configuration of architectural groups, whose forms and styles simply contradict each other, that clearly reflects the spirit of Rococo art. North American style

North American architectural style The United States is a country of immigrants, almost all the world's major ethnic groups are descended from, bringing a variety of architectural style, which is particularly affected by the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Spain, as well as the United States of America in various regions of the original traditional culture of the greater influence. They influence each other, integrate each other, and with the further strengthening of economic strength, to adapt to a variety of new functions of the residential form have appeared, a variety of colorful residential architectural styles should come into being. Therefore, the architectural style of the United States presents a colorful international tendency. The United States of America's architecture, especially residential, is a collection of today's world of residential construction of the essence of the great, but also the integration of the American people free, lively, good at innovation and so on some of the humanities, making its residential become the most advanced international, the most humane, the most creative residential. Today's introduction of the North American style is a mixture of styles, unlike the European architectural style is a step-by-step gradual development and evolution, it is accepted in the same period of time many kinds of mature architectural style, and each other and the fusion and influence. Spanish style The development of the modernist architectural movement was premised on industrialization after the Industrial Revolution. Spain, as the earliest country in Europe to break away from the Middle Ages, set off a seafaring movement that led to the discovery of the New World and directly contributed to the Industrial Revolution. Catalonia was the first region in Spain to have the germ of the modern architectural movement, in which Barcelona architecture and Gaudi architecture became the main component of the Spanish architectural style. Architectural Characteristics of Barcelona From 1830, the Catalonia region of Spain began the road of industrialization; by 1880, Barcelona had already become a major industrial and commercial town in Spain, and successfully hosted the World's Fair in 1888, establishing its international status. In such an industrialized city, the sprouting of modern architecture was inevitable. As a result, Catalanist architecture was mostly concentrated in Barcelona. During this period, Barcelona developed a very distinct architectural style. There are two main characteristics: first, these buildings seem to come from the traditional classical form, but less cumbersome, with a tendency to simplify the architectural form, pay attention to the application of new technologies of the modernist architectural characteristics; second, according to the Spanish tradition, the decorative and sculptural components of the building and the architectural structure of the building are equally important. Gaudi's Architectural Characteristics Under the ****same effect of the above reasons, Gaudi's architecture, born on this soil, combines the characteristics of the era and the region in every way. Gaudi's architectural works, be it mansions and apartments, churches and gardens, all show an original and unique creation, and many of his works have been admired and borrowed by later generations. The most famous are the two apartments he designed in Barcelona: the Batlló and the Mira. Both apartments are known for their quirky shapes. The walls of the Batlló Apartment deliberately mimic the state of the rock and caves, the balcony railings resemble masquerade masks, the roof protrudes in various shapes, and the ridges resemble the backs of scaly beasts. The Mira Residence, on the other hand, has unevenly curved walls and wavy eaves and ridges. The building mimics water-eroded rock, with sea-like walls that are more dynamic and balcony railings that twist and turn like weeds on the rock.
