Neo-eclectic Architecture - Characteristics

Characteristics

Neo-eclectic architecture combines a wide array of decorative techniques taken from an assortment of different periods of historical house styles. It is a response to the clean unadorned modernist styles, such as the Mid-Century modern and Ranch-style house that dominated North American residential design and construction in the first decades after the Second World War. It can be considered an outgrowth of postmodern architecture. It differs from postmodernism in that it is not creatively experimental.
