Wedding-cake Style




In Architecture , the wedding-cake style refers to buildings with many distinct tiers, each set back from the one below resulting in a shape like a Wedding Cake . The British wedding-cake style was created by Sir Christopher Wren , who often placed a steeple at the top of a seemingly classical Roman Temple. In the United States , the style is predominant in New York City , thanks to a Zoning code which forced buildings to reduce their shadows at street level. In Russia , the style is a typical feature of Stalinist Architecture .
