    Revivalism In Architecture

    impersonal nature of the Industrial Revolution.

     Usually, classically inspired styles such as Greek Revival and Roman Revival were
    madly popular in the US and Europe

     The Gothic Revival style was popular for public buildings, churches, of course, and
    even mansions and more modest private homes.

    Frank Lloyd Wright's Larkin Administration Building, in Buffalo, NY and the later buildings of
    Le Corbusier. • When the building first opened, it was praised widely by critics and
    academics, and received several prestigious awards.
