Throughout the centuries, architecture has shaped our urban and rural landscapes, from the soaring Gothic lines of cathedrals to the balanced classicism of Antiquity, through the solidity of Romanesque design, the exuberance of Baroque, the elegance of Neoclassicism, and the clean lines of modern architecture and contemporary design.
