The architecture of houses, regardless of their style and characteristics, is a kind of art that can create positive or negative moods and emotions in a person. The architecture and design of each individual time is closely related to the activities of people, which affects the appearance of buildings. It is not in vain that some architectural structures are called symbols or the face of an entire era. For example, to such epochal structures can be attributed: The Great Wall of China, the Eiffel Tower, the Acropolis and the like.
Styles in architecture.
Style of construction these are numerous features inherent in the architecture of a certain time and place, most often manifested in the construction and finishing materials used, types of structures, the type of facade finishing, as well as the design of interiors inside the building. Each country has its own color, mentality, peculiarities of development, which plays an important role in the formation of architectural style or direction.
The Empire style dates back to the beginning of the 19th century and is the logical completion of the development of classicism. This style is inherent in: massive porticoes, large forms, military motifs that can be seen in the details of the architecture of buildings, as well as motifs that were used in ancient Egypt, including intricate ornaments and images of sphinxes.
The style of the Amsterdam school originated in the Netherlands in the 20th century and was used everywhere: from private houses to the architecture of multistory houses. The buildings of this style are distinguished by rounded shapes, high spires, and massive finishing of the facade around the windows.
The art-deco style in translation means decorative art and appeared in the early 20th century. It is a kind of blend of neoclassical style and art nouveau, manifested in large geometric patterns, expensive finishing materials, luxury and the use of rare woods. The architecture and design of the rooms are interconnected, so that the rooms can also be easily recreated in this unusual style.
Baroque was developed in the 16th-17th centuries in Italy, or more precisely in several of its cities. The buildings are distinguished by their spatial range, complexity of shapes, use of uneven lines in the outlines, which smoothly flow into each other. On the facade it was customary to depict various sculptures, sculptures and numerous columns with pilasters. Various domes of unusual shape, including multilevel domes are also inherent in the Baroque style.
"Brutalism" a relatively new direction in architecture, relating to the middle of the 20th century, expressed in rough large forms, the use of the texture of concrete, the use of unfinished plaster boxes of the house. In the USSR, this style came only in the 80"s and did not receive a special spread.
The architecture of Georgian-style houses is found in England and was used in the construction of buildings in the 18th century. Houses in the Georgian style have a symmetrical layout and are built of red or colored bricks. The doors to these buildings also have a bright and varied coloring and are complemented by windows in their upper part.
Classicism the style of European architecture, which originated in the 17th century and is used in construction until the 19th century. Classicist houses are characterized by their simplicity, harmonious appearance and monumentally.
"Cosmatesco" style is a style used in Italy in the Middle Ages to create not only buildings, but also statues and sculptures. It is distinguished by the wide use of fine mosaics, the use of light marble as a floor covering. It is a mixed style, created by a mixture of classicism and Byzantine traditions.
Modern architecture.
Thanks to the emergence of new building materials, modern architecture takes on unusual shapes and depends solely on the imagination of architects and designers, their visibility and sense of peace. The use of computer programs and developments in the design gives endless opportunities to translate into reality, as it seems at first glance, virtual and unrealistic projects.
