for the better part of a century, the architectural discussion was dominated by modernism and other related forms of Futurism and functionalism. For some, this constant invocation of the new radically began to look a little tired. In the 1980s looking backwards for inspiration brought us famous adaptive populist and postmodernist but also emerging at that time was new classical architecture, which completely rejected any continuity with modernism and returned instead traditional rules. In the years that followed, New Classical architecture has evolved into a resurgence of pre-modern forms, with the term also incorporating designs that have never been considered "classical" in the first place - including Gothic and historicist styles non-Western. We've rounded up some of the most amazing, interesting - even high-tech -. New examples of classical architecture after the break

Funded by eBay CEO Meg Whitman's building Demetri Porphyrios College was chosen to continue the Gothic style of the late 19th century Princeton expansion as it has become university, it is today.The college uses a variety of different stylings within the complex, the formation of a community building which is supposed to reflect the learning community within the University.

status Nashville as the "Athens of the South" was confirmed by the addition of Symphony Center David M. Schwarz, a technologically advanced venue with careful acoustic design and flexibility granted by the main hall easily reconfigurable, enabling the raked seats be converted to a flat floor, allowing many uses of space. The long history of classical form and the Greek imitation in Nashville will soften the incongruity of the room, but the heavy reliance on imitation other Vienna concert halls in Amsterdam lacks the sense of place that Schermerhorn was intended to evoke.

Richmond Riverside, London 1987
the always controversial Quinlan Terry was one of the first practitioners of New classical architecture as a distinct movement in the 1980s, and became a favorite of the establishment of the United Kingdom. Both criticized and praised for its tendency to take the rules of classicism slightly, Richmond Riverside is a playful development and "restoration" to stay old buildings using lightweight Terry to create a highly flexible set of buildings that heavily weighted in pastiche. That said, the depth of knowledge on traditional methods allowing Terry to break all these rules also gives him a great understanding of the material and scale, creating a dense and economic development as contemporary styles might have struggled with .
