It overlaps with, and emerges from the study of the evolution and history of architecture, but it is slightly different in its emphasis. While in Architectural History , the study of, for instance, Gothic Architecture would include all the aspects of the cultural context that went into the making of these structures, architectural style is a way of classifying architecture that gives emphasis to the characteristic features of Gothic architecture, leading to a terminology such as Gothic "style". This could then apply equally to buildings even produced during periods outside the historic period of Gothic architecture. Thus one could build a Gothic style church even today, irrespective of the historic period from which the style emerged. SEE ALSO |
