Architectural Style Assignment

OVERVIEW

An architectural style refers to a collection of distinctive qualities and characteristics that

differentiate a building from any other structure. Examples of architectural styles encompass

various aspects such as form, the process of construction, the materials used, and the regional

character. As various factors such as changing fashion trends, advancements in technology,

shifts in religious and belief systems, and the introduction of new materials continue to progress,

architectural styles tend to evolve and, in many instances, become replaced over time.
