Neoclassical and Gothic Revival Architects

Architects of the nineteenth century revival styles, Neoclassicism, which returned to Greek and Roman column and pediment, and the Gothic Revival, which brought back pointed arches and medieval detail. An architect belongs here when the cited article names one of these styles as the architect's own. It excludes Renaissance and Baroque architects and the Modernists who abandoned period styles. Both revivals were tied to national and moral ideas of their day, which is why public buildings, parliaments, churches and universities so often took these forms, and an architect is placed here by the style the article names.
