Architectural and Interior Design Aesthetics
November 16, 2019 at 3:27 pmDouble checking my own knowledge (and bare in mind that as someone in america studying architecture, i have a very western perspective, and this list could use some, or really any, non-european styles), these are, I think, big and important architectural/interior design aesthetics to see represented. If something is in parenthesis, that means I think the thing listed above’s elements could be used to build it, so with the exception of recolors/retextures, if you included the thing above it wouldn’t be hard to add the stuff in parenthesis:
-Classical
(Renaissance, Baroque, Rococo, Neoclassical, Second Empire, Beaux Arts)
-Romanesque
(Byzantine)
-Gothic
(Neogothic)
-Tudor
-Elizabethan
(Jacobethan)
-Eastlake
(Stick, Queen Anne Revival, Italianate)
-Art Nouveau
(Arts and Crafts)
-Art Deco
(Streamline Moderne)
-Modernism/Bauhaus
(Minimalism, New Formalism, Structuralism, Neomodernism)
-PostmodernismPlease feel free to add any aesthetics you feel are important that I missed, and those from other cultures.

Prehistoric
Early civilizations developed, often independently, in scattered locations around the globe. The architecture was often a mixture of styles in timber cut from local forests and stone hewn from local rocks. Most of the timber has gone, although the earthworks remain.

The Renaissance and its successors
1425-1660. The Renaissance began in Italy and spread through Europe, rebelling against the all-powerful Church, by placing Man at the centre of his world instead of God.[2] The Gothic spires and pointed arches were replaced by classical domes and rounded arches, with comfortable spaces and entertaining details, in a celebration of humanity. The Baroque style was a florid development of this 200 years later, largely by the Catholic Church to restate its religious values.[3]Renaissance c. 1425-1600 (Europe, American colonies)

Late 19th and early 20th centuries.

As engineers, inventors, and businessmen they reshaped much of the British Empire, including the UK, India, Australia, South Africa, and Canada, and influenced Europe and the United States.

Modernism and other styles contemporary with modernism
1880 onwards. The Industrial Revolution had brought steel, plate glass, and mass-produced components. These enabled a brave new world of bold structural frames, with clean lines and plain or shiny surfaces. In the early stages, a popular motto was “decoration is a crime”. In the Eastern Bloc the Communists rejected the Western Bloc’s ‘decadent’ ways, and modernism developed in a markedly more bureaucratic, sombre, and monumental fashion.Avant-garde

Prehistoric
Early civilizations developed, often independently, in scattered locations around the globe. The architecture was often a mixture of styles in timber cut from local forests and stone hewn from local rocks. Most of the timber has gone, although the earthworks remain. Impressively, massive stone structures have survived for years.Neolithic 10,000-3000 BC

The Renaissance and its successors
1425-1660. The Renaissance began in Italy and spread through Europe, rebelling against the all-powerful Church, by placing Man at the centre of his world instead of God.[2] The Gothic spires and pointed arches were replaced by classical domes and rounded arches, with comfortable spaces and entertaining details, in a celebration of humanity. The Baroque style was a florid development of this 200 years later, largely by the Catholic Church to restate its religious values.[3]Renaissance c. 1425-1600 (Europe, American colonies)

Revivalism and Orientalism
Late 19th and early 20th centuries. The Victorian Era was a time of giant leaps forward in technology and society, such as iron bridges, aqueducts, sewer systems, roads, canals, trains, and factories. As engineers, inventors, and businessmen they reshaped much of the British Empire, including the UK, India, Australia, South Africa, and Canada, and influenced Europe and the United States. Architecturally, they were revivalists who modified old styles to suit new purposes.Revivalism

Modernism and other styles contemporary with modernism
1880 onwards. The Industrial Revolution had brought steel, plate glass, and mass-produced components. These enabled a brave new world of bold structural frames, with clean lines and plain or shiny surfaces. In the early stages, a popular motto was “decoration is a crime”. In the Eastern Bloc the Communists rejected the Western Bloc’s ‘decadent’ ways, and modernism developed in a markedly more bureaucratic, sombre, and monumental fashion.Avant-garde
