Post-Modern Classicism architecture is characterized by several key features:
1. The use of classical architectural elements: This style blends classical and modern architectural elements to create a new look. Examples of classical elements include columns, pediments, arches, and domes.
2. Eclecticism: It combines past styles with modern materials and technology, resulting in a hybrid style that is both old and new.
3. Ornamentation and decoration: This style is known for its elaborate ornamentation and decoration, which often includes decorative motifs, patterns, and textures.
4. Playfulness: Post-modern classicism often uses humor, irony, and playfulness in its designs, which can be seen in the use of exaggerated proportions, bright colors, and unexpected details.
5. Historical references: It often references historical architectural styles and motifs, but reinterprets them in a new and modern way.
6. Contextualism: Post-modern classicism seeks to fit into its context, whether that's a natural landscape or an urban environment, by taking inspiration from existing architectural styles and materials.
