‘18th
Century Developments
‘The
relative similarity of approach among architects in the 17th century,
did not exist in the 18th century. Baroque spatial organizational
concepts underwent profound alterations. Simultaneously, there was
the birth of the Rococo, a new approach in the decorative arts,
which, in its search for decorative freedom, lightness, &
airiness, paralleled, to a degree, the spatial experiments in
architecture. The decorative inventions and*** architectural
evolutions, which provided designers with a new vocabulary, were, in
a sense, complementary.
In
the first half of the 18th century, there were at least three ****
major parallel currents of architectural thought, each flourishing in
different regions:
late
Baroque (predominantly Italy & parts of France & central
Europe);
Rococo
(France, south-central Europe, & northern Italy); and
neo-Palladian
classical (England, Holland, & north-central Europe).
No
region was unaware of the other currents.
