WHAT IS STYLE IN ARCHITECTURE

Character-defining elements include the overall shape of the building, its

materials, craftsmanship, decorative details, interior spaces and features, as well

as the various aspects of its site and environment. Understand about style and
character in architecture is very space planning. Since style in architecture will

create special character and image to space that the students planned. An

architectural style is characterized by the features that make a space, building,
other structure notable or historically identifiable. It is a sub-class of style in the

visual arts generally, and most styles in architecture related closely to the wider

contemporary artistic style. Contemporary architecture is the architecture of the

21st century. No single style is dominant; contemporary architects are working in
several different styles, from postmodernism and high-tech architecture to

highly conceptual and expressive forms and designs, resembling sculpture on an

enormous scale.
