New Classical architecture

New Classical architecture, New Classicism or Contemporary Classical architecture^[1] is a contemporary movement in architecture that continues the practice of Classical architecture. It is sometimes considered the modern continuation of Neoclassical architecture,^[2]^[3]^[4] even though other styles might be cited as well, such as Gothic, Baroque, Renaissance or even non-Western styles^[5] – often referenced and recreated from a postmodern perspective as opposed to being strict revival styles.^[6]

This article is about the contemporary movement. For the historical style, see Neoclassical architecture.

The design and construction of buildings in ever-evolving classical styles continued throughout the 20th and 21st centuries, even as modernist and other non-classical theories broke with the classical language of architecture. The new classical movement is also connected to a surge in new traditional architecture, that is crafted according to local building traditions and materials.^[7]
