architecture

There are many styles of architecture: Romanesque, Renaissance, Eastlake, etc. I have a greatly simplified guide to identify these styles. It’s a bit of Arch101 for those of you who are also looking for a cheat sheet.

 

The idea behind this poster is that in place of all the fudgy academic descriptions, it is possible to identify different architectural styles by their core characteristics: roof shapes, pillars, windows, arches, and corbels; who knew it was this easy.
