Classical Revival Architecture shields many vivid forms of art and architectural styles that earned their now prevailing popularity during the Greek era. One such example is the Renaissance that was brought back with an upgrade in cultural exhibitionism during the reign of the Roman Empire. Classical Revival architecture, as per its coined name, is an art form that was introduced as a way to reclaim archaeological history.

But, in the practice, neoclassicism or classical revival architecture became the ultimate gateway to eclecticism. Eclecticism is a movement that sparked Greek philosophers to challenge the cultural aspects of yesteryear only to come forth with theories and concepts that would help uncover lost values and diverse art forms.

Classical Architecture is commonly known is subset cultural standards as Greek architecture, and is characterized by buildings inspired from the Doric, Ionic and Corinthian artistic trends. When the Renaissance came into being, it added the Tuscan and Composite artistic trends along with these three to build architectural delights that still stand tall to this date.

Classical Revival Architecture was built classically from stone and marble, but soon evolved to use more durable materials such as brick and concrete. The characteristic design of Classical architecture is seen in every Greek building that is standing still from centuries past. The design is largely celebratory of columns that lined in sequence to support the pediment or the gable on the top of the constructed lintel.
